Well I went to a turkey roast down the street

The people down there eat like wild geese

Talk about your people have a whale of a time

Eating up chicken and drinking their wine

I'm on my way I'm going back to Alabam

Now some folks say that a tramp won't steal

But I caught three in my corn field

One had a bushel and the other had a peck

One had a roasting ear tied around his neck

There comes Sal walking down the street

With a run down shoes tied on her feet

Good Morning honey stand over there baby
               C
Get over there now

Hello Sal I know you

With a run down slipper and a tore up shoe
          D7            G7         C
I'm on my way I'm going back to Alabam

When I get ready to leave this earth

I'm gonna look back on my money's worth
          D7            G7         C
I'm on my way I'm going back to Alabam
          G7         C
I'm going back to Alabam
