VERSE 01: I've heard lots of melodies,/ Songs of quaintest harmonies,/ But one refrain comes again and again,/ To my mind that is the kind we love the best:
CHORUS: Down in Alabama when the breeze begins to sigh,/ Seems to softly murmur just the sweetest lullaby,/ Each dear old Mammy in old Alabam',/ Huddles and cuddles her own honey lam',/ "Little Pick-a-ninny, close your eyes and go to sleep,/ Moon am swingin' low and spooy shadows 'gin to creep,"/ This melody brings a fond memory,/ Takes me back again to dear old Alabam'.
VERSE 02: Something lingers with me yet,/ Seems I never will forget,/ Those dear old days and those old Southern ways,/ As I croon this lazy tune of long ago:
