Birmingham

Randy Newman · Georges Lang Volume 2 [2012]

Got a wife got a family earn my livin' with my hand

I'm a roller in a steel mill in downtown Birmingham

My daddy was a barber a most unsightly man

He was born in Tuscaloosa but he died right here in Birmingham



Birmingham, Birmingham

The greatest city in Alabam'

You can travel 'cross this entire land

There ain't no place like Birmingham



Got a wife named Mary but she's called Marie

We live in a three room house with a pepper tree

And I work all day in the factory that's alright with me



Got a big black dog his name is Dan

Lives in my backyard in Birmingham

He is the meanest dog in Alabam', get 'em Dan



Birmingham, Birmingham

The greatest city in Alabam'

You can travel 'cross this entire land

There ain't no place like Birmingham
