Alabama Getaway lyrics for no readily apparent reason

[docwebster]

Thirty two teeth in a jawbone
Alabama cryin for none
Before I have to hit him
I hope he's got the sense to run

Reason those poor girls love him
Promise them anything
Reason they believe him
He wears a big diamond ring

Alabama getaway
Alabama getaway
Only way to please me
Turn around and leave
and walk away

Majordomo Billy Bojangles
Sit down and have a drink with me
What's this about Alabama
Keeps comin back to me?

Heard your plea in the courthouse
Jurybox began to rock and rise
Forty-nine sister states all had
Alabama in their eyes

Alabama getaway
Alabama getaway
Only way to please me
Turn around and leave
and walk away

Why don't we just give Alabama
rope enough to hang himself?
Ain't no call to worry the jury
His kind takes care of itself

Twenty-third Psalm Majordomo
reserve me a table for three
in the Valley of the Shadow
just you, Alabama and me

Alabama getaway
Alabama getaway
Only way to please me
turn around and leave
and walk away

Which reminds me, asilana slipped me the tongue two BitTorrent links for a combined total of right at 100 JAM Project songs. If you'd like 'em, both seem to be alive and well and I'm getting about 20KBps on each. PM me and I'll gladly send 'em your way.

That was the first song I ever heard the Dead play in concert.

this was one of the first dead songs I heard also

the first concert I ever worked was an indoor dead show here in 78, I was working the hot dog stand next to the stage, we ran out of food by halftime!
I watched the second half from the pressbox, and there was this blue haze about halfway to the ceiling it seemed like, we had to open all the outside windows to keep from getting completely buzzed
