Neil Young's, "Alabama"
Misheard Lyrics:
Banjos playin' through the broken glass
Wind blows down in Alabam
See the old folks tyin' white ropes
Hear the banjo come to take you down home.
Wind blows down in Alabam
See the old folks tyin' white ropes
Hear the banjo come to take you down home.
Original Lyrics:
Banjos playin' through the broken glass
Windows down in Alabama
See the old folks tied in white ropes
Hear the banjo; don't it take you down home?
Windows down in Alabama
See the old folks tied in white ropes
Hear the banjo; don't it take you down home?
Neil Young's, "Alabama"

I'm from a new land
I come to you, man; see, all is ruined
What are you doin' Alabam?
I come to you, man; see, all is ruined
What are you doin' Alabam?
Original Lyrics:
I'm from a new land
I come to you and see all this ruin
What are you doin' Alabama?
I come to you and see all this ruin
What are you doin' Alabama?
