MOBILE ALABAMA

Goin down to Mobile Alabama
Gonna wind up on the wrong side of the law
Goin down to Mobile Alabama
Gonna beat me shoot me till I am no more

Goin down to Mobile Alabama
Gonna tear myself from limb to limb
Goin down to Mobile Alabama
Gonna try and find my original sin

Goin down to Mobile Alabama
Gonna find what makes a man a slave
Goin down to Mobile Alabama
Gonna put that devil in the grave

Goin down to Mobile Alabama
Gonna dress up in my finest robes
Goin down to Mobile Alabama
Gonna burn up a cross and burn down my soul

Goin down to Mobile Alabama
Gonna find out what it means to be free
Goin down to Mobile Alabama
Gonna hang me down on Government Street

Goin down to Mobile Alabama
Gonna see what Martin left behind
Goin down to Mobile Alabama
Now hush little puppy, mama’s doin fine

Goin down to Mobile Alabama
Gonna burn that cotton to the ground
Goin down to Mobile Alabama
Gonna sign my X and lay my babies down
Gonna take that whip and beat myself on down

Goin down to Mobile Alabama
Gonna hold that ku klux man up to the light
Goin down to Mobile Alabama
Gonna put Pandora’s lid back on real tight

Goin down to Mobile Alabama
Gonna listen to my long lost babies cry
Goin down to Mobile Alabama
Gonna lay me down on Davis Ave and die
