- Alabama Sundown Lyrics / with translations(Dave Kirby - Danny Morrison)
The cold December wind seems bent on rockin' New York
City
The town that's got me down to my last dime
And everywhere I go the people seem in such a hurry
To keep this Mobile girl from feelin' fine.
Lord, what I'd give to see an Alabama sundown
The sun just seemed to drop in Mobile Bay
New York town has got a gifted way to keep a girl down
But that never was the Mobile way
No, no, that never was the Mobile way.
A flashing sign says that you can rent a bed for just a
dollar
In anybody's town that price is cheap
It's a shame to know a girl would ever fall down to my
standards
Cause I need ninety cents to go to sleep.
Lord, what I'd give to see an Alabama sundown
The sun just seemed to drop in Mobile Bay
New York town has got a gifted way to keep a girl down
But that never was the Mobile way
No, no, that never was the Mobile way.
I felt so big the day I left that Mobile couldn't hold
me
I thought there had to be a better way
But if I could find that man that first called Lady
Luck a lady
That gentleman would surely learn to pray
Lord, what I'd give to see an Alabama sundown
The sun just seemed to drop in Mobile Bay
New York town has got a gifted way to keep a girl down
But that never was the Mobile way
No, no, that never was the Mobile way...
The cold December wind seems bent on rockin' New York
City
The town that's got me down to my last dime
And everywhere I go the people seem in such a hurry
To keep this Mobile girl from feelin' fine.
Lord, what I'd give to see an Alabama sundown
The sun just seemed to drop in Mobile Bay
New York town has got a gifted way to keep a girl down
But that never was the Mobile way
No, no, that never was the Mobile way.
A flashing sign says that you can rent a bed for just a
dollar
In anybody's town that price is cheap
It's a shame to know a girl would ever fall down to my
standards
Cause I need ninety cents to go to sleep.
The sun just seemed to drop in Mobile Bay
New York town has got a gifted way to keep a girl down
But that never was the Mobile way
No, no, that never was the Mobile way.
I felt so big the day I left that Mobile couldn't hold
me
I thought there had to be a better way
But if I could find that man that first called Lady
Luck a lady
That gentleman would surely learn to pray
Lord, what I'd give to see an Alabama sundown
The sun just seemed to drop in Mobile Bay
New York town has got a gifted way to keep a girl down
But that never was the Mobile way
No, no, that never was the Mobile way...
