Otis Redding - Shout Bamalama lyrics

Shout bamalama He's down in Alabama Shoutin' bamalama Way down in Louisiana Well, well, well Nobody's gonna set him down Lord have mercy on my soul How many chickens have I stole One last night and the night before I'm going back and tryin' to get ten, eleven more Startin' to get 'em and I I love a chicken, baby Shoutin' bamalama Well, well, well Nobody's gonna set him down Nine feet, ten feet we're goin' for the build Nine feet left on a ten feet of hill Ten feet turn around a nine feet fence His teeth fell out, but his tongue stayed in It's gettin' said so He got the chicken, baby Shoutin' bamalama Well, well, well Nobody's gonna set him down Leo demarket rode a line one day Bad little fella comin' down the way We were talkin' 'bout the family, its a cryin' shame He tell ya, mother is workin' on the chain gang She busts his britches now She's good at workin' hard Shoutin' bamalama Well, well, well Nobody's gonna set him down The preacher and the deacon were prayin' one day Along come a bear comin' down that way The preacher told the deacon to say a prayer He said, Lord, a prayer won't k** this bear I gotta make it, baby Shout bamalama I gotta run for it Well, well, well Nobody's gonna set him down
