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
