I went to Alabama I took my honey down I went to Alabama I burned it to the ground All the little roses And fine watersheds All the little flowers In their flowery beds And the little baby With another one inside Got inside my constitution And would not be denied Baby you can love me But throw away your heart Cause the rain that's gonna fall there Go'n wreck your applecart I went to Alabama And every honeybee That swam around my petals Tended to agree And buried in the garden In that candy dress The fruit of all my labors Lies waiting I confess I went to Alabama And took my honey down And with my bloody fingers I burned her to the ground
