"Alabamy Bound" by Ray Henderson, Bud DeSylva, & Bud Green

Verse:
Em  C7   Em
Goodbye, blues
Am          B7      Am        B7       Em
Birdies are singin' ev'ry old thing in tune
    C7   Em
Goodbye, blues
Am          B7       Am          B7   Em
Nothin' but laughter mornin' and afternoon

D7            G
Saw a rosebud in a store
D7           C             B7
So I'm goin' where there's more

Em  C7   Em
Goodbye, blues!
Am           B7   Am         B7     Em
Troubles are over I'll be in clover soon
 
Chorus:
       Gm
I'm Alabamy bound
                                A7
There'll be no "Heebie Jeebies" hangin' round,
                             D7           Em            A7
Just gave the meanest ticket man on earth all I'm worth
                         D7
To put my tootsies in an upper berth

Em             Gm
Just hear that choo choo sound
                                A7
I know that soon we're goin' to cover ground
                            G     G7   E7    A7
And then I'll holler so the world will know "Here I go"
C   D7 C D7   G
I'm Al-a-bamy bound

Chorus
 
Patter:
I can hear that choo choo whistle blow,
Watch that engine when we start to go,
Now we're in Baltimore
Knockin' at Dixie's door
What's that, Bill?
Louisville
We passed that before
Fields o' cotton tell me where I am
Hear that feller yellin "Alabam"
Mammy, Mammy,
Get your kisses ready for yo' honey lamb
 
End:
           Gm
I'm just a lucky hound
                          A7
To have someone to put my arms around
                                G     G7 E7    A7
That's why I'm shoutin' for the world to know "Here I go!"
C   D7 C D7   G
I'm Al-a-bamy bound
