Mad Tom	Lyr/Chords Req: Alabama Song (Brecht/Weill) (31)	RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Alabama Song	09 Feb 03
I was Googling for Alabama Moon tonight and came across these lyrics said to be used by David Bowie (Album: Bowie Rare) Pasted from: href="http://www.absolutelyric.com/a/view/David%20Bowie/Moon%20of%20Alabama/">http://www.absolutelyric.com/a/view/David%20Bowie/Moon%20of%20Alabama/ ------------------------ ALABAMA MOON Oh show me the way to the next whiskey bar Oh don't ask why No don't ask why For we must find the next whiskey bar Or if we don't find the next whiskey bar I tell you we must die I tell you we must die I tell you I tell you I tell you we must die Oh moon of Alabama It's time to say goodbye We've lost our good old mama I must have whiskey Oh you know why Oh moon of Alabama It's time to say goodbye We've lost our good old mama I must have whiskey Oh you know why Oh show us the way to the next little dollar Oh don't ask why No don't ask why For we must find the next little dollar Or if we don't find the next little dollar I tell you we must die I tell you we must die I tell you I tell you I tell you we must die Oh moon of Alabama It's time to say goodbye We've lost our good old mama I must have dollar Oh you know why Oh moon of Alabama It's time to say goodbye We've lost our good old mama I must have dollar Oh you know why Oh show us the way to the next little girl Oh don't ask why No don't ask why For we must find the next little girl Or if we don't find the next little girl I tell you we must die I tell you we must die I tell you I tell you I tell you we must die Oh moon of Alabama It's time to say goodbye We've lost our good old mama I must have little girl Oh you know why Oh moon of Alabama It's time to say auf Wiedersehen We've lost our good old mama I must have little girl Oh you know why You know why You know why You know why --------------------- I've not heard this, so I can't vouch for the accuracy of the transcription. A few days ago I taped a made-for-TV documentary "Kurt Weill: Songs of September" with a great performance of Alabama Moon by four people. A woman sang one of the verses as "Oh show me the way to the next pretty boy" (or maybe "...little boy"?)
