otis redding - shout bamalama lyrics
he’s down in alabama
i’m shoutin’ bamalama
way down in louisiana
well, well, well
n-body’s gonna set him down
lord have mercy on my soul
how many chickens have i stole
one last night and the night before
i’m going back and tryin’ to get 10 or 11 more
startin’ to get ’em and i
i love a chicken, baby
shoutin’ bamalama
well, well, well
n-body’s gonna set him down
9 feet and 10 feet we’re goin’ for the build
an’ 9 feet left on a 10 feet of hill
10 feet turn around a 9 feet fence
his teeth fell out and his tongue stayed in, his cousin said so
he got the chicken, baby
shoutin’ bamalama
well, well, well
n-body’s gonna set him down
a leo demarket rode a line one day
a bad little fella comin’ down the way
we were talkin’ ’bout his family, it’s a cryin’ shame
he tell ya, “mother is workin’ on the chain gang”
she busts his britches now
she’s good at workin’ hard
shoutin’ bamalama
well, well, well
n-body’s gonna set him down
the preacher and the deacon were prayin’ one day
along come a bear comin’ down that way
the preacher told the deacon to say a prayer
he said, “lord, a prayer won’t kill this bear”
i gotta make it, baby
shout bamalama
i gotta run for it
well, well, well
n-body’s gonna set him down
