Woke up in Alabama

Had to play the news

Birmingham got the Mayor Langford blues

Woke up in Alabama

Had to play the news

Birmingham, Alabama got the

Mayor Langford extortion blues

Yeah, fifteen years is a mighty long time

For fuckin' Birmingham

Screamin' and cryin'

For fuckin' Birmingham

Screamin' and cryin'

I’d be surprised if Mayor Langford do his time

Well, if it don’t

A mighty hard day

Mayor Langford showed up again instead

If it don’t

A mighty hard day

Well, locked him up, threw away the keys

Yeah but he won’t stay

He’s a slick man

Rode to the jailhouse in limousine

Mayor Langford turned his money green

To the jailhouse

Gray, long limousine

Well, Langford sure enough turn his money green

Birmingham, Alabama

Burnin' to the ground

No firemen or policemen to be found
