Alabama Getaway Lyrics - The Arista Years - Grateful Dead

Thirty two teeth in a jawbone 

Alabama cryin' for none 

Before I have to hit him 

I hope he's got the sense to run 

Reason those poor girls love him 

Promise them anything 

Reason they believe him 

He wears a big diamond ring 

Alabama getaway 

Alabama getaway 

Only way to please me 

Turn around and leave 

And walk away 

Majordomo Billy Bojangles 

Sit down and have a drink with me 

What's this about Alabama 

Keeps comin' back to me? 

Heard your plea in the courthouse 

Jury box began to rock and rise 

Forty-nine sister states all had 

Alabama in their eyes 

Alabama getaway 

Alabama getaway 

Only way to please me 

Turn around and leave 

And walk away 

Why don't we just give Alabama 

Rope enough to hang himself? 

Ain't no call to worry the jury 

His kind takes care of itself 

Twenty-third Psalm Majordomo 

Reserve me a table for three 

In the Valley of the Shadow 

Just you, Alabama and me 

Alabama getaway 

Alabama getaway 

Only way to please me 

Turn around and leave 

And walk away
