"He's down in Alabama
I shouting Bamalama
Way down in Louisiana

Well, well, nobody gone 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 to try and get 10, 11 more

(unintelligible)
I love the chicken baby
Shouting Bamalama

Well, well, nobody gone set him down

?? Nine Feet & Ten Feet were going towards the feild ??

?? Nine Feet stepped on Ten Feet's heel ??
?? Ten Feet swung around and knocked Nine Feet's grin ??
He teeth fell out and his tongue stayed in

His captain said so
He got chicken baby
Shouting Bamalama

Well, well, nobody gone set him down

Leo the Monkey told the lion one day

'A bad little gorilla coming down your way'
They way he talk about your family is a crying shame
He say your mother is working on the chain gang

She busting bricks now
(unintelligible)
Shouting Bamalama

Well, well, nobody gone set him down

The preacher and the deacon were praying one day

Along come a bear coming down their way
The preacher told the deacon to say a prayer
He said "lord, a prayer? I want to kill this bear"

I got to make it baby
Shout Bamalama
I've got to run for it

Well, well, nobody gone set him down"
