Alabama Soft Spoken Blues
Composer(s): Maggie Graham - Nanci Griffith
Performer(s): Nanci Griffith



Southern man, you sure are pretty
got a smile to still the city
And Lord, you know, you got those sleepy eyes
Alabama sweet-talking baby
calmed the heart of a lonely lady
You kept me flying high
and the leaving easy
And it's Dallas in the rain
and I was dreaming
October winds still blowing, Lord
you know the song were flowing
From a broken-hearted lady
by the wayside
Listen to my song, you
kept it ringing clean and strong
You held me like an angel
to confide in
And I tried to make you home
But I was dreaming

Lord, I guess you just ain't home
that damned old telephone
Is trying hard to help me find the lines here.
Wish that you could understand
why I love the other man
He gives me truth and reason
I believe in

Alabama soft-spoken blues again
Alabama soft-spoken blues again
Early morning fog is rolling in
time for leaving

Alabama soft-spoken blues
