Birmingham Daddy Lyrics

Yonder comes the train, a Frisco train
Coming down the railroad track
I′m a-going away, a-leaving today
It ain't gonna bring me back
I′m a-leaving you, good mama
And I ain't never coming back
-Yodel

I'm a-leaving town, my baby turned me down
Going back to New Orleans
I′m looking for a gal, a brand new gal
I ain′t never seen
I'm a-looking for me a mama
Lord, I ain′t never seen
-Yodel

If love was liquor and I could drink
I'd be drunk all the time
I′d go back to town in Birmingham
With the loving mamas of mine
I'd go back to Birmingham
With the loving gals of mine
-Yodel

If you got a good gal, a good old gal
You sure better keep her at home
′Cause a red-headed mama, yes sir, boy
I can't leave her alone
Yes, a red-headed mama
I sure can't leave her alone
