Lyrics
Now come gather 'round me while I sing this lonesome song
It was down in Alabama that I took the road was wrong
It was down in Alabama one dark and stormy night
It was down in Alabama that I took a poor man's life
We started out a drinking we thought we'd have some fun
Until a quarrel came up and then I drew my gun
And when I quit shooting he was lying on the ground
I listened for a moment but I couldn't hear a sound
Now take this as a warning don't do as I have done
Don't ever start to drinking and bad commission
For they're going to hang me a death I hate to die
I'm hanging from a scaffold between the earth and sky
I'm going home to glory I hear the angels call
And I will be so happy when I can see them all
For I have done repented I'll never more do wrong
You might forget the singer but don't forget the song
