Lyrics: Buddy DeSylva/Bud Green
Music: Ray Henderson
Goodbye blues
Birdies are singing every old thing in tune
Goodbye blues
Nothing but laughter morning and afternoon
Saw a rose bud in a store
So I'm going whether more
Goodbye blues
Troubles are over, I'll be in clover soon
I'm Alabamy bound
There'll be no heebie jeebies hangin' round
Just gave the meanest ticket man on earth, all I'm worth
To put my tootsies in an upper berth
I hear the choo-choo sound
And soon I know we're going to cover ground
And then I'll holler so the world will know, here I go!
I'm Alabamy bound
I can hear that choo-choo whistle blow
Watch that engine when we start to go
Now we're in Baltimore, knockin' at Dixie's door
But what's that bill? Louisville!
Ah, we passed that before!
Field of cotton, tell me where I am
Hear that fellow yelling, "Alabam!"
Mammy, mammy
Get your kisses ready for your honey lamb
I'm Alabamy bound
There'll be no heebie jeebies hangin' round
Just gave the meanest ticket man on earth, all I'm worth
To put my tootsies in an upper berth
I hear the choo-choo sound
And soon I know we're going to cover ground
And then I'll holler so the world will know, here I go!
I'm Alabamy bound, bound, bound, bound
I'm Alabamy bound
I'm Alabamy bound!
