Compositores del tema
Carry me home to see my kin
Singing songs about the south-land
I miss ‘ole’ ‘bamy once again
And I think it’s a sin, yes
Well I heard old Neil put her down
Well, I hope Neil Young will remember
A southern man don’t need him around anyhow
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet home Alabama
Lord, I’m coming home to you
Now we all did what we could do
Now Watergate does not bother me
Does your conscience bother you?
Tell the truth
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet home Alabama
Lord, I’m coming home to you, here I come Alabama
And they’ve been known to pick a song or two
Lord they get me off so much
They pick me up when I’m feeling blue
Now how bout you?
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet home Alabama
Lord, I’m coming home to you
Where the skies are so blue and the Governor’s true
Sweet home Alabama
Lord, I’m coming home to you, yeah yeh
