Alabama John Cherokee trad
by Ladykelshan
Age Group: Adult
John Cherokee was an Indian man
Alabama John Cherokee
He run away every time he can
Alabama John Cherokee, way, hey, yah
Alabama John Cherokee, way, hey, yah
Alabama John Cherokee
They put him aboard a Yankee ship
Alabama John Cherokee
Again he gave the boss the slip
Alabama John Cherokee, way, hey, yah
Alabama John Cherokee, way, hey, yah
Alabama John Cherokee
They catch him again and chain him tight
Alabama John Cherokee
And starve him many a day and night
Alabama John Cherokee, way, hey, yah
Alabama John Cherokee, way, hey, yah
Alabama John Cherokee
Nothing to drink and nothin' to eat
Alabama John Cherokee
He just fall dead at the boss's feet
Alabama John Cherokee, way, hey, yah
Alabama John Cherokee, way, hey, yah
Alabama John Cherokee
So they bury him by the old gate post
Alabama John Cherokee
The very same day you can see his ghost
Alabama John Cherokee, way, hey, yah
Alabama John Cherokee, way, hey, yah
Alabama John Cherokee

Bully in the Alley trad
So help me Bob, I'm bully in the alley
Way, ay, bully in the alley
So help me Bob, I'm bully in the alley
Bully down in Shinbone Al'
Sally is the girl that I love dearly
Way, ay, bully in the Alley
Sally is the girl that I spliced nearly
Bully down in Shin Bone Al
I'll leave my gal and I'll go a-sailin'
Way, ay bully in the alley
I'll leave my Sal and I'll go a-whalin'
Bully down in Shin Bone Al
