[Verse 1]
D G
Willie Jones was a man I met when I lived in Baltimore
Em A
I was a guard and he was doing time
D G
In the three long years he stayed there I got to know him well
Em A D
Willie Jones he was a friend of mine
[Chorus]
C
He used to say buddy you know where
G
I'm going when they let me out of here
E A
Alabama could be heaven if the Lord was there
D
And he talked about the south-land
G
Though he'd drifted from its shores
Em A D
I never seen a man who loved it more
D C G D 2x
[Verse 2]
D G
He talked about the whippoorwills in the Alabama night
Em A
Honeysuckle vine and sugar cane
D G
Swimming holes and fishing poles and early morning frost
Em A D
And sleeping under a tin roof when it rained
D G
He talked about a country road and a cabin in the pines
Em A
And a girl with wavy long chestnut brown hair
D G
He talked about the beauty of his Blue Ridge Mountain home
Em A D
And darn near made me think that I was there
[Chorus]
C
Buddy you know where
G
I'm going when they let me out of here
E A
Alabama could be heaven if the Lord was there
D
And he talked about the south-land
G
Though he'd drifted from its shores
Em A D
I never seen a man who loved it mor

[Verse 3]
D G
It's been almost a years now since that hot night in July
Em A
Willie hit the guard and jumped the fence
D G
I had my rifle ready but I couldn't let it fly
Em A D
I shot over his head and we ain't seen him since
D G
Then last week the postman brought a letter to my door
Em A
Marked No Return Address and No Reply
D
It just said nobody north of Birmingham
G
Is going to see this boy again
Em A D
But if you're ever down our way won't you please drop by
[Chorus]
C
Buddy you know where
G
I'm going when they let me out of here
E A
Alabama could be heaven if the Lord was there
D
And he talked about the south-land
G
Though he'd drifted from its shores
Em A D
I never seen a man who loved it more
