When The Midnight Choo Choo Leaves For Alabam'

Lyrics

I've had a mighty busy day
 I've had to pack my things away
 Now I'm going to give the landlord back his key
 The very key
 That opened up my dreary flat
 Where many weary nights I sat
 Thinking of the folks down home who think of me
 You can bet you'll find me singing happily
 [chorus:]
 When the midnight choo-choo leaves for Alabam'
 I'll be right there
 I've got my fare
 When I see that rusty-haired conductor-man
 I'll grab him by the collar
 And I'll holler
 "Alabam'! Alabam'!"
 That's where you stop your train
 That brings me back again
 Down home where I'll remain
 Where my honey-lamb am
 I will be right there with bells
 When that old conductor yells
 "All aboard! All aboard!
 All aboard for Alabam'"
 The minute that I reach the place
 I'm goin' to overfeed my face
 'Cause I haven't had a good meal since the day
 I went away
 I'm goin' to kiss my Pa and Ma
 A dozen times for ev'ry star
 Shining over Alabama's new mown hay
 I'll be glad enough to throw myself away
