letra de alabama 1959 - pierce pettis
chicken wire floats in the big parade
marching bands and the prom queen’s wave
from an old home movie faded with time
alabama, 1959
daddy had hair, mum was thin
look at the silly clothes they wore back then
studebaker truck parked in the drive
alabama, 1959
men wore hats and called you “son,”
children said, “yes sir, yes ma’am”; ladies called you “hun”
and the days just blew away like dandelions in alabama, 1959
tva strung power lines
lit up our world with pepsodent and lucky strikes
and the tvs rolled in black and white
alabama, 1959
football games beneath the lights
no one ever dared to cross the colour line
black faces watched through the fence outside
alabama, 1959
“don’t use that word,” my mother said
“it isn’t christian, call them coloured folks instead,”
so i learned to be polite in alabama, 1959
these old home movies, well, they make me cry
still i bring them out and watch sometimes
and all those ghosts come back alive
alabama, 1959
alabama, 1959
