Randy Newman - Birmingham lyrics

rate me

Got a wifegot a family

Earn my livin' with my hand

I'm a roller in a steel mill

In downtown birmingham

My daddy was a barber

And a most unsightly man

He was born in tuscaloosa

But he died right here in birmingham

Chorus

Birminghambirmingham

The greatest city in alabam'

You can travel 'cross this entire land

But there's no place like birmingham

Wife's named mary

But she's called marie

We live in a three room house

With a pepper tree

I work all day in the factory

That's alright with me

Got a big black dog

Whose name is dan

Lives in my backyard in birmingham

He is the meanest dog in alabam'

Get 'em dan

Chorus
