When that midnight choochoo leaves for Alabam',
I'll be right there,
I've got my fare!
When I see that rusty-haired conductor man,
I'm gonna grab by the collar
And I'll holler,
"Alabam'! Alabam'!".

That's where you stop your train
That brings me back again,
Down home where I'll remain
Where my honey lamb am!
I will be right there with bells
When that old conductor yells,
"All aboard, all aboard, all aboard for Alabam!".

That's where you stop your train
That brings me back again,
Down home where I'll remain
Where my honey lamb am!
I will be right there with bells
When that old conductor yells,
"All aboard, all aboard, all aboard for Alabam!".
