Luther Dickinson - Mayor Langford Birmingham Blues lyrics

[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
