Alabama lyrics
Song information
Artist: Neil Young Album: Journey Through The Past
Lyrics
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
(Song is interupted after which there is some studio talk and then the song resumes again)
See the old folks Tied in white ropes Hear the banjo Don't it take you down home?
(Song is again interupted and the song "god bless america, my home sweet home" is introduced)
God bless america Land that I love Stand beside her, and guide her Thru the night with a light from above From the mountains, to the prairies To the oceans, white with foam
(Song fades out while a david crosby makes some remarks, after that you hear a richard nixon speach and the songs kicks back in again)
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?
