Paul McDonald & The Mourning Doves - Alabama Getaway Lyrics

Paul McDonald & The Mourning Doves Lyrics

"Alabama Getaway"
(originally by The Grateful Dead)

32 teeth in a jawbone
Alabama trying for none
Before I have to hit him, I hope he's got the sense to run
Reason the poor girls love him, promise them everything
Why they all believe him? He wears a big diamond ring

Alabama getaway, getaway
Alabama getaway, getaway
The only way to please me, is just get down and leave and walk away

Major Domo Billy Bojangles
Sat down and have a drink with me
Said, "What about Alabama? It keeps a coming back to me"
I heard your plea in the courthouse
Witness box began to rock and rise
49 sister states all had Alabama in there eyes

Alabama getaway, getaway
Alabama getaway, getaway
The only way to please me, is just get down and leave and walk away

Major said, "Why don't we give him a rope enough to hang himself?"
No need to worry the jury, they'll probably take care of themselves
23rd psalm Major Domo, reserve me a table for three
Down in the valley of the shadow, just you, Alabama, and me

Alabama getaway, getaway
Alabama getaway, getaway
The only way to please me, is just get down and leave and walk away

Alabama getaway, getaway
Alabama getaway, getaway
The only way to please me, is just get down and leave and walk away
Alabama getaway, getaway
Alabama getaway, getaway
The only way to please me, is just get down and leave and walk away
Alabama getaway, getaway
Alabama getaway, getaway
The only way to please me, is just get down and leave and walk away
