Lyrics Alabama - Janis Ian

Alabama

See the light
Southern light
Show me the way to go home
See the light
Southern light
Show me the way to go home
Alabama, lady of the nation
Guardian of the South
My pretty belle
Wishing well
Mississippi, guardian of the nation
Laying your waste on all creation
Jezebel
Oh well
See the darky’s laughing eyes
See the sunrise in disguise
Naturalized
Alabama, my lady of the nation
The serpent’s after you
And your labor’s overdue
Oh, I pity you
I’ll give to you, Dick
(Dear, dear Dick)
just what you give to me, Dick
(My dear, dear Dick)
Yes, and I’ll give to you, Dickie dear
(Dear, dear Dick)
just what you give to me, Dickie dear
(My dear, dear Dick)
See the light (Alabama)
Southern light (Alabama)
Won’t you show me the way to go home
See the light (Mississippi)
Southern light (Alabama)
Show me the way
I’ll go home
