Alabama Song

Show me the way to the next whiskey bar
Oh don't ask why, oh don't ask why
Show me the way to the next whiskey bar
Oh don't ask why, oh don't ask why

If we don't find the next whiskey bar
I tell you we must die, I tell you we must die
I tell you, I tell you, I tell you we must die

Oh moon of Alabama, now we say goodbye
We've lost our dear old momma
Oh now have whiskey, oh you know why
Oh moon of Alabama, now we say goodbye
We've lost our dear old momma
Oh now have whiskey, oh you know why

Show me the way to the next little girl
Oh don't ask why, oh don't ask why
Show me the way to the next little boy
Oh don't ask why, oh don't ask why

For if we don't find the next little girl
I tell you we must die, I tell you we must die
I tell you, I tell you, I tell you we must die

Oh moon of Alabama, now we say goodbye
We've lost our dear old momma
Oh now have whiskey, oh you know why
Oh moon of Alabama, now we say goodbye
We've lost our dear old momma
Oh must have whiskey, oh you know why
