Birmingham

I've never been so blue as

I am now in this old town

You don't know how homesick

I am to see the streets of my hometown

I left in search of greener grass but oh what a fool

I am There's just no place that

I have found with greener grass than

Birmingham

Birmingham

Alabam a mighty pretty town the town from

I am And I'm gonna settle down in

Birmingham

It's a town

I'll soon be seein' then

I'll feel like a human bein'

I'm southworth they're gonna pitch my tens in

I'm gonna buy some big red roses for my girl when

I come home

There's nothing good enough to bring the little girl who wears my ring

And I'm goin' there just as soon as

I can back to my hometown

And I'll never say goodbye to them that little girl in

Birmingham

Birmingham

Alabam
