I think the title is "I like to live in Alabam" if not that is definitely one of the most prominent lyrics that is repeated over and over. The song also mentions several types of food like black eyed peas and country ham. That's about all I can remember. Thanks for your help. |

Anywhere in that old state, Where good neighbors congregate. I like to live in Alabam- Decatur, Cullman, Birmingham. I like to eat in Alabam, Hot cornbread and country ham, Beans and bacon, black-eyed peas, Someone pass the biscuits, please. That's all I remember. |

It is found in the little yellow handbook, “Alabama Sings,” a song I was not familiar with but very appropriate for the occasion. “I like to live in Alabam’, Mobile, Selma, Birmingham, Anywhere in that old state, Where good neighbors congregate; I like to live in Alabam’, Mobile, Selma, Birmingham.” “I like to eat in Alabam’, Hot corn bread and country ham, Grits and gravy, nice fresh beans, Black-eyed peas and turnip greens; I like to eat in Alabam’, Hot corn bread and country ham.” “I like to work in Alabam’, Friendship here is not a sham; In a hole, just give a shout, Someone’s mule will pull you out; I like to work in Alabama’, Friendship here is not a sham.” “Here is the right spot where I am, Home, sweet home, old Alabam’, Where folks live and work and play, In the sun most every day; Here is the spot right where I am, An-da-lu-sia, Alabam’!” +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The above are from https://www.andalusiastarnews.com/2019/09/06/remember-when-andalusia-celebrates-alabama-bicentennial/ |
