Ahhh yesss... Who could ever forget that stirring Van Zandt/Neil Young duet... Alabama Man? (Because I've needed an excuse to post this thing for years).
Bullwhips keep on cracking
Carry me home to see my crosses burnin' fast
Singing songs about the black man
I miss my Southern Man once again
And I think it's a sin
Well I heard mister Young screamin' about her
Well I heard ole Neil cut her down
Well, I hope Neil Young will remember
Lily Belle don't need him around anyhow
In Birmingham they love the governor
Swear by God I'm gonna cut him down!
Now the screamin' does not bother me
Muscle Shoals gonna come at last
Tell the truth
Sweet home Alabama
Where the mansions are so tall and white
Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, Southern change gonna come at last
Here I come Southern Man
Sweet home Alabama
Oh sweet cotton baby
Where the skies are so blue
And the black man's comin' round
Sweet Home Alabama
How long? How long?
Lord, I'm coming home to you
Yea, yea Southern Man's got the answer
