Well the preacher got drunk
He throwed his Bible down
He told the congregation
I'm Alabama bound
I'm Alabama bound
I'm Alabama bound
If the train don't run
I've got a mule to ride
Well I've been in New York City
And I've been in New York town
Good Lord I've been in the mountains
With the blues all around
Well I jumped in the river
And I started to drown
I spied a red headed woman
Good Lord I couldn't go down
