Notebook ,The movie - Alabamy Home lyrics

rate me

Song by Duke Ellington<br /><br>

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.<br>
