Ellington Duke - Alabamy Home lyrics

rate me

I'm goin' home<br />

Down there among the fields of cotton,<br />

Down where the folks have not forgotten me<br />

I feel blue just for a little girl I'm strong for,<br />

Just for a certain one I long to see.<br />

I'm goin' down aroun' my ALABAMY HOME<br />

I'm gonna see the bee that makes the honey comb<br />

The brindle cow will wag her tail,<br />

As I fill up the pail I'll chase the flies and<br />

I surmise she'll moo, "Thanks to you."<br />

I'll feed the chicks, and mix some barley with their corn<br />

They love it so, I know they'll cluck for luck each morn<br />

Then I will lie amid the hay<br />

And call it all a day<br />

Way down aroun' my ALABAMY HOME.<br />

I'm goin' down aroun' my ALABAMY HOME<br />

I'm gonna see the bee that makes the honey comb<br />

The brindle cow will wag her tail,<br />

As I fill up the pail I'll chase the flies and<br />

I surmise she'll moo, "Thanks to you."<br />

I'll feed the chicks, and mix some barley with their corn<br />

They love it so, I know they'll cluck for luck each morn<br />

Then I will lie amid the hay<br />

And call it all a day<br />

Way down aroun' my ALABAMY HOME.
