Well I went to a turkey roast down the street

The people down there eatin` like wild geese
     D7D7        G7G7     C majorC
I`m on my way   I`m going back to Alabam

     A7A7
Well you talk about your people have a whale of a time

Eating up chicken and drinking their wine
     D7D7        G7G7     C majorC  A augmentedA D MajorD G+G C majorC
I`m on my way   I`m going back to Alabam

Well some folks say that a tramp won`t steal

But I caught three in my corn field
     D7D7        G7G7     C majorC
I`m on my way   I`m going back to Alabam

   A7A7
Well one had a bushel the other had a peck

One had a roastnear tied around his neck

I`m on my way   I`m going back to Alabam

Well look here Sal walking down the street

With a worn out shoe tied on her feet
     D7D7        G7G7     C majorC
I`m on my way   I`m going back to Alabam

Hey Hello Sal I know you

With a worn out slipper and a tore up shoe

Well when I get ready to leave this earth

I`m gonna` look back on my money`s worth

     G7G7     C majorC  A augmentedA D MajorD G+G C majorC
I`m going back to Alabam

Goin Back To Alabam chords

From Glen Campbells Goodtime Hour TV show, this song demonstrates how steeped in Country Western music Glen truly was. Western because it is a song written by Legendary Cowboy Copais. Country music has lost its Western roots sadly.
