Ive had a mighty busy day Ive had to pack my things away Now Im going 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 youll find me singing happily [Chorus] When the midnight choochoo leaves for Alabam Ill be right there Ive got my fare When I see that rustyhaired conductorman Ill grab him by the collar And Ill holler Alabam! Alabam! Thats where you stop your train That brings me back again Down home where Ill remain Where my honeylamb am I will be right there with bells When that old conductor yells All aboard! All aboard! All aboard for Alabam The minute that I reach the place Im goin to overfeed my face Cause I havent had a good meal since the day I went away Im goin to kiss my Pa and Ma A dozen times for evry star Shining over Alabamas new mown hay Ill be glad enough to throw myself away
