Lyrics I'm Alabama Bound - Original - Louis Jordan and his Tympany Five

I'm Alabama Bound - Original

I’m Alabama bound
I’m Alabama bound
Sure as the train pulls out of the yards
I’m gonna leave this town
I’m gonna leave this town
I’m gonna leave this town
I’m tired of your fussin' and fightin' and doggin' me 'round
I’m gonna leave this town
Oh, don’t you leave me here
Oh, don’t you leave me here
If you do, sweet mama
Leave me a dime for beer
Oh, the rooster crowed
And the hen looked 'round
Says, «If you want me to love you
You gotta run me down.»
Oh, the rooster crowed
And he raised his leg
He run that old hen and caught her
Then she laid an egg
