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

Alabama getaway, getaway. Alabama getaway, getaway,

Major Domo Billy Bojangles, sat down and had a drink with me,
            E                 D                          C C A
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,
 E                      D                   C C A
49 sister states had Alabama in their eyes.

Major said why don't we give him rope enough to hang himself?
            E                       D                                C C A
No need to worry the jury, they'll probably take care of themselves.

23rd psalm Major Domo, reserve me a table for three,
             E                          D                    C C A
Down in the valley of the shadow, just you, Alabama, and me.
