dreamy alabama on the chattahoochee river flowin to the gulf of mexico from eufaula all the way to the apalachicola bay the sound of childrens laughter floatin cross the water takes me back to summertimes with you long ago and far away on a dreamy alabama day why did i ever leave you why do the four winds blow how could i live a lifetime and still not know dreamy alabama does my memory betray me are you still as sweet as i recall does the moon still shine as bright on a dreamy alabama night why did i ever leave you why do the four winds blow how could i live a lifetime and still not know antebellum mansions crumblin traditions sunday school with dinner on the grounds when the next chance comes around i ll be dreamy alabama bound when the next chance comes around i ll be dreamy alabama bound
