Charley Patton - Going To Move To Alabama lyrics

I'm goin' to move to Alabama
I'm goin' to move to Alabama
I'm goin' to move to Alabama
Make Georgia be your home

Ah, she's long and tall
The way she do the boogie
Makes a panther squall
I have to move to Alabama
I have to move to Alabama
I have to move to Alabama to
Make Georgia be your home

I'm going to show you, common women
How I feel
Going to get me another woman before I leave
I'm goin' to move to Alabama
Said I will move to Alabama
Said, I will move to Alabama
Make Georgia be your home

Say, mama got the washboard
My sister got the tub
My brother go the whiskey, mama got the jug
I'm goin' to move to Alabama
I'm a-move to Alabama i'm a-move to Alabama
Make Georgia be your home

Well, these evil women sure make me tired
Got a handful of give-me
Mouthful of much-obliged
You must've been to Alabama
You must've been to Alabama
You must've been to Alabama to
Make Georgia be your home

Well, I got a woman, she's long and tall
But when she's with me
She makes a panther squall
She gonna move to Alabama
Have you been to Alabama
Have you been to Alabama to
Make Georgia be your home

Say, mama and papa going to work
Left my sister standing at
The watering trough
Well, have you been to Louisiana
Have you been to Alabama
Have you been to Alabama to
Make Georgia be your home

My mama told me
Never lose a woman like she can't love you
Well, have you been to Alabama
Have you been to Alabama
Have you been to Alabama to
Make Georgia be your home

I got up this morning, my hat in my hand
Didn't have no other brown
Didn't have no man
Well, have you been to Alabama
Have you been to Alabama
Have you been to Alabama to
Make Georgia be your home
