Don't Leave Me Here Songtext
von Henry Thomas

Don′t leave, don't you leave
Ah, don′t you leave me here
Is all night long, sweet mama
Don't leave me here

I was standin' on the corner
A talkin′ to Ma Brown
I turned around, sweet mama, I work housebound

Don′t leave, don't you leave
Ah, don′t you leave me here
Is all night long, sweet mama
Don't leave me here

I′m Alabama bound
I'm Alabama bound
Yes, all night long, sweet mama
Alabama bound

And I got a girl
And she′s workin' hard
Yeah, the dress she wear, lovin' baby
Said, "It′s pink, and blue"


She bring me coffee
And she bring me tea
She bring me everything
Except the jailhouse key

Don′t leave, don't you leave
Ah, don′t you leave me, here
Yes, all night long, sweet papa
Don't leave me, here

Yes, I′m goin' away
And it won′t be long
Yes, sure, as the train leaves out of the yard
I'm Alabama bound

Don't leave, don′t you leave
Ah, don′t you leave me, here
Yes, all night long, sweet papa
Don't leave me, here

I′m goin' away
And it won′t be long
Yes, is your train, lovin' baby
I′m Alabama bound


Don't leave, don't you leave
Ah, don′t you leave me, here
Yes, all night long, sweet mama
Don′t leave me, here

Said, "The boat's up the river"
And she won′t come down
I believe to my soul, sweet darling
She's water bound

I look to the East
And I look to the West
If she head to the South, good God
She′s Alabama bound

Don't leave, don′t you leave
Ah, don't you leave me, here
Yes, all night long, sweet mama
Don't leave me, here

Alabama bound
Alabama bound
Yes, all night long, sweet papa
Don′t leave me here
