Alabama Getaway (Live at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum, Uniondale, NY, May 6, 1981) The Grateful Dead

[Verse 1]
Thirty-two teeth in a jawbone
Alabama's tryin' for none
Before I have to hit him
I hope he's got the sense to run
Reason the poor girls love him
Promise them everything
Why they all believe him?
He wears a big diamond ring

[Chorus]
Alabama getaway, getaway
Alabama getaway, getaway
Only way to please me
Just get down and leave and walk away

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Majordomo Billy Bojangles
Sat down and had a drink with me
Said what about Alabama
That keeps a-coming back to me?
I heard your plea in the courthouse
Witness box began to rock and risе
Forty-nine sister states
Had Alabama in thеir eyes
