Alabamy Home Lyrics


I'm goin' home
Down there among the fields of cotton,
Down where the folks have not forgotten me
I feel blue just for a little girl I'm strong for,
Just for a certain one I long to see.
I'm goin' down aroun' my ALABAMY HOME
I'm gonna see the bee that makes the honey comb
The brindle cow will wag her tail,
As I fill up the pail I'll chase the flies and
I surmise she'll moo, "Thanks to you.
"I'll feed the chicks, and mix some barley with their corn
They love it so, I know they'll cluck for luck each morn
Then I will lie amid the hay
And call it all a day
Way down aroun' my ALABAMY HOME.
I'm goin' down aroun' my ALABAMY HOME
I'm gonna see the bee that makes the honey comb
The brindle cow will wag her tail,

As I fill up the pail I'll chase the flies and
I surmise she'll moo, "Thanks to you.
"I'll feed the chicks, and mix some barley with their corn
They love it so, I know they'll cluck for luck each morn
Then I will lie amid the hay
And call it all a day
Way down aroun' my ALABAMY HOME.

Ivie Anderson (sometimes Ivy) (July 10, 1905 - December 28, 1949) was a jazz performer and singer, best known for performing with Duke Ellington's orchestra between 1931 and 1942.
Anderson was born in Gilroy, California. With a sweet clear singing voice, she was a popular attraction with Ellington's band. Her performance of "Stormy Weather" in the short film Bundle of Blues (1933) was eclipsed by the later and far better known version sung by Lena Horne in Horne's movie also entitled Stormy Weather (1943).
