Lyrics
- A foolish little lamb
Roamed out of Alabam’
And found this old world mighty cold
And wants to go back to the fold
Oh, Alabam’, you see
This little lamb is me
Don’t ask me if I’m blue
Do I want to come back to you?
Chorus
You know me Alabam’
No matter where I am
It’s Alabamy that I’m thinking of
My dear old Mammy and someone else I love
She’ll be so happy when I get back home again
And will I get a lot of kissin’ then?
Will I? You know me Alabam’
- You know that cabin door
Down by the river shore
You know that door will always be
The gates of Paradise to me
You know an angel there
I know her ev’ry pray’r
Is for her rolling stone
You know I can’t leave her alone
