Alabama Here We Come

(About relatives moving from New York to Alabama) Alabama Here We Come By Elton Camp Of cold temperature and snow you’ve had enough So you are moving to where there isn’t such stuff In Alabama the cost of living won’t be as high And it will be much easier financially to get by On old folks’ pensions there isn’t any state tax So it’s a good place to be laid back and to relax “Youse guys” will no longer offend your ear Although it’s, “Y’all,” you will certainly hear And too, now y’all will no longer Yankees be Since you’ll be residing in the Heart of Dixie But although you are escaping the winter gale, Welcome to the land of tornadoes and hail To learn to eat grits and Southern fried chicken But pretty soon your fingers you will be licking And it is bib overalls that you’ll get to wear Go barefoot in summer and nobody will care It’s the Deep South that’s the best place to be So just hurry on down so that fact you can see
