Otis Redding Shout Bamalama - With The Pinetoppers lyrics

He's down in Alabama
And shoutin' bamalama
Way down in Louisiana
Well, well, well, nobody'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 ten, eleven more
Startin' to get 'em and I

I love a chicken, baby
Shoutin' bamalama
Well, well, well
Nobody's gonna set him down

A nine feet and ten feet, we're goin' for the build
A nine feet left on a ten feet of hill
Ten feet turn around a nine feet fence
His teeth fell out and his tongue stayed in
It's gettin' said so

He got the chicken, baby
Shoutin' bamalama
Well, well, well

Nobody's gonna set him down

A Leo the market rode a line one day
A bad little fella comin' down the way
We were talkin' 'bout the family, its 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
Nobody'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
Nobody's gonna set him down
