Subject: Lyr Req: Lead Belly's Alabama Bound 1940
I'd like to get the lyrics of Alabama Bound as sung by Lead Belly with the Golden Gate Quartet, 1940. This is what I can get:

I'm Alabama bound
I'm Alabama Bound
And if the train don't stop and turn around
I'm Alabama Bound

Don't you leave me here
Don't you leave me here
And if you will go anyhow
Leave me a dime for beer

I'm Alabama bound
I'm Alabama Bound
And if the train don't stop and turn around
I'm Alabama Bound

You ought to be like me
You ought to be like me
You can drink your … ???
And let the … ??? be

I'm Alabama bound
I'm Alabama Bound
And if the train don't stop and turn around
I'm Alabama Bound

The preacher's in the stand
Pass his hand around
Saying: brothers and sisters shoot you money to me
I'm Alabama Bound

I'm Alabama bound
I'm Alabama Bound
And if the train don't stop and turn around
I'm Alabama Bound

Oh, the preacher prayed
Sisters they turned around
Yes, the deacon in the corner hollerin': Sweet girl
I'm Alabama Bound

I'm Alabama bound
I'm Alabama Bound
And if the train don't stop and turn around
I'm Alabama Bound
