Turn it up
Carry me home to see my kin
Singin’ songs about the south-land
I miss Alabamy once again and I think it’s a sin, yes

Opening Lyrics:
Down at place called The Jug
With a girl named Linda Lou
When in walked a man
With a gun in his hand
And he was looking for you know who
He said, “Hey there, fellow
With the hair colored yellow
Whatcha tryin’ to prove?
‘Cause that’s my woman there
And I’m a man who cares
And this might be all for you
I said, excuse me
I was shaking like a leaf on a tree
‘Cause he was lean, mean
Big and bad, Lord

On down the line, won’t you
Please take me far away
Outside my door, means I’m
I’m leaving my woman at home, Lordy
Oh, my baby’s gone, with the wind
Oh, where I’m going
I just want to be left alone
I’ll try again, oh but I’m
I’m leaving my woman at home, Lordy
