1924 Tin Pan Alley tune commonly played by Dixieland jazz bands
Not to be confused with the song I'm Alabama Bound with music by Robert Hoffman and words by John J. Puderer.
I'm Alabamy bound,
There'll be no heebie jeebies hangin' round.
Just gave the meanest ticket mam 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!
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! - Published by
