Irving Berlin - When the Midnight Choo Choo Leaves for Alabam' lyrics

I've had a mighty busy day I've had to pack my things away Now I'm going to give the landlord back his key The very key That opened up my dreary flat Where many weary nights I sat Thinking of the folks down home who think of me You can bet you'll find me singing happily [chorus:] When the midnight choo-choo leaves for Alabam' I'll be right there I've got my fare When I see that rusty-haired conductor-man I'll grab him by the collar And I'll holler "Alabam'! Alabam'!" That's where you stop your train That brings me back again Down home where I'll remain Where my honey-lamb am I will be right there with bells When that old conductor yells "All aboard! All aboard! All aboard for Alabam'" The minute that I reach the place I'm goin' to overfeed my face 'Cause I haven't had a good meal since the day I went away I'm goin' to kiss my Pa and Ma A dozen times for ev'ry star Shining over Alabama's new mown hay I'll be glad enough to throw myself away
