[Verse 1]
Woke up in Alabama
Had to play the news
Birmingham got the Mayor Langford blues
Woke up in Alabama
Had to play the news
Birmingham, Alabama got the
Mayor Langford extortion blues
[Verse 2]
Yeah, fifteen years is a mighty long time
For f**in' Birmingham
Screamin' and cryin'
For f**in' Birmingham
Screamin' and cryin'
[Verse 3]
I'd be surprised if Mayor Langford do his time
Well, if it don't [?]
A mighty hard day
Mayor Langford showed up again instead
If it don't [?]
A mighty hard day
[Verse 4]
Well, locked him up, threw away the keys
Yeah but he won't stay
He's a slick man
Rode to the jailhouse in limousine
Mayor Langford turned his money green
To the jailhouse
Gray, long limousine
Well, Langford sure enough turn his money green
[Verse 5]
Birmingham, Alabama
Burnin' to the ground
No firemen or policemen to be found
Burnin' to the ground
No firemen or policemen left to be found
