Alabama Bound (Take 2)

Alabama bound, Alabama bound
If the boat don't sink and they will turn around
I'm Alabama bound

Well, the preacher's in the pulpit
Yes, a-waving his hand
And the sister way back in the amen corner
Hollering, "Go on, man"

What did the rooster say
To the little red hen?
"Won't you meet me down to the old barnyard
'Bout half past ten?"

Well, the rooster crowed
Hen flew on the fence
"I can see in your deep blue eye
You got to be convinced"

Well, the rooster crowed
And the hen replied
"Said I can see in your deep blue eye
You got to rise and fly"

Well, the rooster crowed
And the hen flew down
"Wanna be a man of mine
You got to run me down"

"Well, I'm going up north
Ain't going to stay
Got a long, tall, season 'round
Gonna pay my way"

Well, the preacher preached
All the sisters moaned
You want this collection I got
You got to follow me home

When he got through preaching
Laid his Bible down
Said, "Sisters, if I'm missing out
The soul of church, I'm Alabama bound"

Don't you leave me here
Don't leave me here
If you leave me here
Oh, darling, dear
I'll lay you down for dead
