not too sure about all the lyrics but...
 
I'm Alabama bound, I'm Alabama bound
I'm Alabama bound, I'm Alabama bound
And if the train don't stop and turn around
I'm Alabama bound, I'm Alabama bound
 
Now don't ya leave me here, now don't ya leave me here
Now don't ya leave me here, now don't ya leave me here
And if you will go anyhow
give me a dime for bail, give me a dime for bail
 
I'm Alabama bound, I'm Alabama bound
I'm Alabama bound, I'm Alabama bound
And if the train don't stop and turn around
I'm Alabama bound, I'm Alabama bound
 
You oughta be like me, you oughta be like me
You oughta be like me, you oughta be like me
(???)
and let that King Kong be
 
I'm Alabama bound, I'm Alabama bound
I'm Alabama bound, I'm Alabama bound
And if the train don't stop and turn around
I'm Alabama bound, I'm Alabama bound
 
The preacher's in the stand, the preacher's in the stand
Pass his hand around, pass his hand around
Singing brothers and sisters shoot your money to me
I'm Alabama bound, I'm Alabama bound
I'm Alabama bound, I'm Alabama bound
 
I'm Alabama bound, I'm Alabama bound
I'm Alabama bound, I'm Alabama bound
And if the train don't stop and turn around
I'm Alabama bound, I'm Alabama bound
 
Ooh that preacher preach, ooh that preacher preach
Sisters just turn around(?), sisters just turn around
Yes n' the deacon's in the corner hollerin' sweet gal
I'm Alabama bound, I'm Alabama bound
I'm Alabama bound, I'm Alabama bound
 
I'm Alabama bound, I'm Alabama bound
I'm Alabama bound, I'm Alabama bound
And if the train don't stop and turn around
I'm Alabama bound, I'm Alabama bound
 
I'm Alabama bound, I'm Alabama bound
I'm Alabama bound, I'm Alabama bound
 
I'm Alabama bound, I'm Alabama bound
I'm Alabama bound, I'm Alabama bound
And if the train don't stop and turn around
I'm Alabama bound, I'm Alabama bound

I'm Alabama bound I'm Alabama bound And if the train don't turn around I'm Alabama bound Oh, don't you leave me here Oh, don't you leave me here But if you must go anyhow Just leave a dime for beer Oh, don't you be like me Oh, don't you be like me Drink your good sweet cherry wine And let that whiskey be Well your hair don't curve And your eyes ain't blue Well if you don't want me, Polly Ann Well I don't want you
