Alabama Getaway (Live at Oakland Civic Auditorium, Oakland, CA, December 28, 1979)

[Verse 1]
Thirty-two teeth in a jawbone
Alabama's tryin' 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

[Chorus]
Alabama getaway, getaway
Alabama getaway, getaway
Only way to please me
Just get down and leave and walk away

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Majordomo Billy Bojangles
Sat down and had a drink with me
Said what about Alabama
That keeps a-coming back to me?
I heard your plea in the courthouse
Witness box began to rock and risе
Forty-nine sister states
Had Alabama in thеir eyes

[Chorus]
Alabama getaway, getaway
Alabama getaway, getaway
Only way to please me
Just get down and leave and walk away

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Major said why don't we give him
Rope enough to hang himself
No need to worry the jury
They'll probably take care of themselves
Twenty-third Psalm Majordomo
Reserve me a table for three
Down in the Valley of the Shadow
Just you, Alabama and me

[Chorus]
Alabama getaway, getaway
Alabama getaway, getaway
Only way to please me
Just get down and leave and walk away
Alabama getaway, getaway
Alabama getaway, getaway
Only way to please me
Just get down and leave and walk away
Alabama getaway, getaway
Alabama getaway, getaway
Only way to please me
Just get down and leave and walk away
Alabama getaway, getaway
Alabama getaway, getaway
Only way to please me
Just get down and leave and walk away

[Instrumental]
