Oh Alabama
  The devil fools
  with the best laid plan.
  Swing low Alabama
  You got spare change
  You got to feel strange
  And now the moment
  is all that it meant.
    Alabama, you got
  the weight on your shoulders
  That's breaking your back.
  Your Cadillac
  has got a wheel in the ditch
  And a wheel on the track
    Oh Alabama
  Banjos playing
  through the broken glass
  Windows down in Alabama.
  See the old folks
  tied in white ropes
  Hear the banjo.
  Don't it take you down home?
    Alabama, you got
  the weight on your shoulders
  That's breaking your back.
  Your Cadillac
  has got a wheel in the ditch
  And a wheel on the track
    Oh Alabama.
  Can I see you
  and shake your hand.
  Make friends down in Alabama.
  I'm from a new land
  I come to you
  and see all this ruin
  What are you doing Alabama?
  You got the rest of the union
  to help you along
  What's going wrong?
