| ::When the midnight choo choo leaves for Alabam:: Music and Lyrics By Irving Berlin I've had a mighty busy day, I've had to pack my things away, Now I'm goin' to give the landlord back his key, The very key that opened up my dreary flat, Where many weary nights I sat, Thinking of the folks down home who think of me. You can bet you'll find me singing happily: When the midnight choo choo leaves for Alabam', (Al-a-bam'! Al-a-bam'!) I'll be right there, I've got my fare, When I see that rusty haired conductor man, I'll grab him by the collar and I'll holler: "Al-a-bam'! Al-a-bam'!" That's where you stop your train, That brings me back again, Down home where I'll remain, Where my honey lamb am, I will be right there with bells, When that old conductor yells, "All aboard! All aboard! All aboard for Al-a-bam'!" |
