Subject: RE: Chord Req: Scottsboro Boys (Leadbelly)
It looks like the lyrics have never been posted at Mudcat, let alone the chords. So here is what I was able to transcribe from a sound sample:Go to Alabama, and you'd better watch out.
The landlord'll get you, going to jump and shout.
Scottsboro Boys, Scottsboro Boys, tell you what it's all about.
I also found this brief quote:I'm gonna tell all the colored people living in Harlem ...(unintelligible). Don't you never go to Alabama and try to sing.
