Song Lyrics
i can t help but to sit down and cry sometime
why you wanna be so mean
Now you tryin to take my freedom away from me, you got my people behind a barbwire fence
I never will love alabama, now you tryin to take my freedom away from me
That is not the place for me, that is not the place for me
I never will love alabama, why you wanna be so mean
and the whole world let them peoples go down there free
That is not the place for me, you know they killed my sister and my brother
Alabama seem to never have loved poor me, my brother was taken up for my mother Blues, and a police officer shot him down
That is not the place for me, that is not the place for me
I never will go back to alabama, and a police officer shot him down
now you tryin to take my freedom away from me
Now you tryin to take my freedom away from me, and the whole world let them peoples go down there free
I can t help but to sit down and cry sometime, you got my people behind a barbwire fence
and a police officer shot him down
And the whole world let them peoples go down there free, my brother was taken up for my mother
I never will go back to alabama, i never will love alabama
My brother was taken up for my mother, alabama seem to never have loved poor me
Alabama seem to never have loved poor me, my brother was taken up for my mother
Think about how my poor brother lost his life, you got my people behind a barbwire fence J.B., i never will love alabama
i never will go back to alabama
Alabama seem to never have loved poor me, lead my peoples to the land of pea, you got my people behind a barbwire fence
That is not the place for me, you know they killed my sister and my brother
lead my peoples to the land of pea
Think about how my poor brother lost his life, and a police officer shot him down J.B., alabama seem to never have loved poor me
I never will love alabama, now you tryin to take my freedom away from me Alabama, oh god i wish you would rise up one day
That is not the place for me, you know they killed my sister and my brother
i never will go back to alabama
Lead my peoples to the land of pea, that is not the place for me Lenoir, i can t help but to sit down and cry sometime
That is not the place for me, and the whole world let them peoples go down there free
alabama seem to never have loved poor me
that is not the place for me
why you wanna be so mean
i never will go back to alabama
My brother was taken up for my mother, and a police officer shot him down J.B., that is not the place for me
Why you wanna be so mean, my brother was taken up for my mother
Lead my peoples to the land of pea, that is not the place for me
And the whole world let them peoples go down there free, that is not the place for me, i never will love alabama
