The Grateful Dead — Alabama Getaway Live at Nassau Coliseum May 15-16 1980

[Verse 1] Thirty-two teeth in a jawbone Alabama's tryin' for none Before I have to hit him I hope he's got the sense to run Reason the poor girls love him Promise them everything Why they all believe him? He wears a big diamond ring [Chorus] Alabama getaway, getaway Alabama getaway, getaway Only way to please me Just get down and leave and walk away [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] Majordomo Billy Bojangles Sat down and had a drink with me Said what about Alabama That keeps a-coming back to me? I heard your plea in the courthouse Witness box began to rock and rise Forty-nine sister states Had Alabama in their eyes [Chorus] Alabama getaway, getaway Alabama getaway, getaway Only way to please me Just get down and leave and walk away [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] Twenty-third Psalm Majordomo Reserve me a table for three Down in the Valley of the Shadow Just you, Alabama and me Major said why don't we give him Rope enough to hang himself No need to worry the jury They'll probably take care of themselves [Chorus] Alabama getaway, getaway Alabama getaway, getaway Only way to please me Just get down and leave and walk away Alabama getaway, getaway Alabama getaway, getaway Only way to please me Just get down and leave and walk away Alabama getaway, getaway Alabama getaway, getaway Only way to please me Just get down and leave and walk away [Instrumental]
