Well I went to a turkey roast down the street

The people down there eat like wild geese

Eating up chicken and drinking their wine

One had a roasting ear tied around his neck

There comes Sal walking down the street

With a run down shoes tied on her feet
             D7                     G7
Good Morning honey stand over there baby
               C
Get over there now

Hello Sal I know you

With a run down slipper and a tore up shoe  
          D7            G7         C
I'm on my way I'm going back to Alabam

When I get ready to leave this earth

I'm gonna look back on my money's worth  
          D7            G7         C
I'm on my way I'm going back to Alabam 
          G7         C
I'm going back to Alabam
