Berthold Brecht,Kurt Weill- Alabama Song

This is a cover of a German poem written by Berthold Brecht and published in 1927 in his collection Hauptpostille. Kurt Weill adapted it in 1929 for their opera contribution Aufstieg und Fall der Stadt Mahagonny as a song.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]

Well, show me the way

To the next whiskey bar

Oh, don't ask why

Oh, don't ask why

Show me the way

To the next whiskey bar

Oh, don't ask why

Oh, don't ask why

For if we don't find

The next whiskey bar

I tell you we must die

I tell you we must die

I tell you, I tell you

I tell you we must die

[Chorus]

Oh, moon of Alabama

We now must say goodbye

We've lost our good old mama

And must have whiskey, oh, you know why

[Verse 2]

Show me the way to the next little girl

Oh, don't ask why

Oh, don't ask why

Show me the way to the next little girl

Oh, don't ask why

Oh, don't ask why

For if we don't find

The next little girl

I tell you we must die

I tell you we must die

I tell you, I tell you

I tell you we must die

[Chorus]

Oh, moon of Alabama

We now must say goodbye

We've lost our good old mama

And must have whiskey, oh, you know why
