Alabamy Bound
Louis Armstrong's Journey South: Alabamy Bound Inspiration
Lyrics
I'm Alabamy bound
Expressing the destination as Alabama.
There'll be no heebie-jeebies hangin' 'round
No worries or disturbances will be present.
Just gave the meanest ticket-man on earth
Referring to a ticket agent, emphasizing their stern demeanor.
All I'm worth to put my tootsies in an upper berth
Offering all possessions to secure a comfortable sleeping accommodation on the train.
Just hear the choo-choo sound
Awareness of the train's approaching noise.
I know that soon we're gonna cover ground
Anticipation of progress and distance to be covered.
And then I'll holler so the world will know
Expression of excitement and intention to announce the journey loudly.
Here I go: I'm Alabamy bound
Reiteration of heading towards Alabama with enthusiasm.
I'm Alabamy bound
Reaffirming the destination as Alabama.
There'll be no heebie-jeebies hanging 'round
Ensuring an absence of unpleasant or jittery elements.
Just gave the meanest ticket-man on earth
Describing the ticket agent as particularly unyielding.
All I'm worth to put my tootsies in an upper berth
Repeating the willingness to pay a high price for a comfortable sleeping place.
Just hear the choo-choo sound
Acknowledgment of the imminent train sound.
I know that soon we're gonna cover the ground
Confidence in the upcoming journey and progress.
And then I'll holler so the world will know
Declaration of intent to announce the journey loudly and joyfully.
Here I go: I'm Alabamy, I'm Alabamy bound
Repeating the excitement about heading to Alabama.
I'm gone
Indicating departure and the commencement of the journey.
