Jefferson County Blues (Alternate Take)

If you wants your brown, keep him out of Birmingham
If you wants your brown, keep her out of Birmingham
'Cause they're red hot mamas, down in dear old Alabam'

Let me tell you what those women will do
Just let me tell you what those women will do
They'll take your man from you, and they bow down at you

See my brown, she be where she should not be
If you spot my brown, she be where she should not be
Can you rap on her shoulder and send her right back to me

My road seem rocky, so the people do say
My road seem rocky, so these people do say
But I'm a careful driver, likely to find my way

I tell you what, ain't gonna sing no more
I'm gonna sing this good, ain't gonna sing no more
Got a gal in 'abama, thats just all I know

Letter says she's there, but I believe that she's at home

Letter reads she's there, but I said that girl's at home
Letter says she's been there, said that gal's at home
I'm from Deerfield Alabama, alright comin' home
