If Ever I Get Back To Birmingham 1916

I've got the blues
and I'm feeling bad
Nothing like the blues
to make you sad,
I guess I'm off my feed
I know just what I need,
When I hear the choochoo whistles blow
on that rail road train
If I could afford it
I'd be aboard it
going home again.

If ever I get back to Birmingham
in Birmingham I'll stay
and I will settle down in Alabam
for ever,
Bet your life I will,
for there's a girl in Birmingham
that I just long to see
all I need to get me there
is nineteen sixty rail road fare
Fare back there to Birmingham
and to the girl who waits for me.

If ever I get back to Birmingham
in Birmingham I'll stay
and I will settle down in Alabam
for ever,
Bet your life I will,
for there's a girl in Birmingham
that I just long to see
all I need to get me there
is nineteen sixty rail road fare
Fare back there to Birmingham
and to the girl who waits for me.

I'm all alone
far away from home,
What an awful fool
I was to roam
I must have lost my mind
to leave that town behind.
When I get my pockets full of change
I'll be on my way
But I'm so disgusted
because I'm busted
here I have to stay:

If ever I get back to Birmingham
in Birmingham I'll stay
and I will settle down in Alabam
for ever,
Bet your life I will,
for there's a girl in Birmingham
that I just long to see
all I need to get me there
is nineteen sixty rail road fare
Fare back there to Birmingham
and to the girl who waits for me.

If ever I get back to Birmingham
in Birmingham I'll stay
and I will settle down in Alabam
for ever,
Bet your life I will,
for there's a girl in Birmingham
that I just long to see
all I need to get me there
is nineteen sixty rail road fare
Fare back there to Birmingham
and to the girl who waits for me.
