"Alabama Blues" lyrics - J.B. LENOIR

I never will go back to alabama, that is not the place for me [2x]
You know they killed my sister and my brother,
And the whole world let them peoples go down there free

I never will love alabama, alabama seem to never have loved poor me [2x]
Oh god I wish you would rise up one day,
Lead my peoples to the land of pea'

My brother was taken up for my mother, and a police officer shot him down [2x]
I can't help but to sit down and cry sometime,
Think about how my poor brother lost his life

Alabama, alabama, why you wanna be so mean [2x]
You got my people behind a barbwire fence,
Now you tryin' to take my freedom away from me
