Verse 1: Goodbye blues. Birdies are singing every old thing in tune.
Goodbye blues. Nothing but laughter morning and afternoon.
Saw a rose bud in a store, now I'm going where there's more.
Goodbye blues. Troubles are over, I'll be in clover soon.

Chorus 1: I'm Alabamy bound. There'll be no heebie jeebies hanging round.
Just gave the meanest ticket man on earth all I'm worth.
To put my tootsies in an upper berth.
Just hear that choo-choo sound. I know that soon we're gonna cover ground.
And then I'll holler so the world will know, "Here I go!" I'm Alabamy bound.

Patter: I can hear that choo choo whistle blow;
Watch that engine when we start to go.
Now we're in Baltimore, Knockin' at Dixie's door.
What's that Bill, Louisville, We passed that before.
Fields o'cotton tell me where I am,
Hear that feller yellin' "Alabam!"
Mam-my, Mam-my, Get your kisses ready for yo' honey lamb.

Verse 2: Hello joy. Never knew I would, never knew I could smile.
Hello joy. Though I've been tearful, I see each cheerful mile.
I've been dreaming dreams each day, of that sunshine far away.
Hello joy. No ones been sadder, now I'll be glad awhile.

Chorus 2: I'm Alabamy bound. There'll be no heebie jeebies hanging round.
Just gave the meanest ticket man on earth all I'm worth.
To put my tootsies in an upper berth.
I'm just a lucky hound to have someone to put my arms around.
That's why I'm shouting so the world will know, "Here I go!" I'm Alabamy bound.

Just hear that choo-choo sound. I know that soon we're gonna cover ground.
And then I'll holler so the world will know, "Here I go!" I'm Alabamy, I'm Alabamy, I'm Alabamy bound.
