Alabama - Janis Ian

See the light

Southern light

Show me the way to go home

See the light

Southern light

Show me the way to go home

Alabama, lady of the nation

Guardian of the South

My pretty belle

Wishing well

Mississippi, guardian of the nation

Laying your waste on all creation

Jezebel

Oh well

See the darky’s laughing eyes

See the sunrise in disguise

Naturalized

Alabama, my lady of the nation

The serpent’s after you

And your labor’s overdue

Oh, I pity you

I’ll give to you, Dick

(Dear, dear Dick)

just what you give to me, Dick

(My dear, dear Dick)

Yes, and I’ll give to you, Dickie dear

(Dear, dear Dick)

just what you give to me, Dickie dear

(My dear, dear Dick)

See the light (Alabama)

Southern light (Alabama)

Won’t you show me the way to go home

See the light (Mississippi)

Southern light (Alabama)

Show me the way

I’ll go home
