Scottsboro Boys Lyrics by Lead Belly

Go to Alabama and ya better watch out
The landlord’ll get ya, gonna jump and shout
Scottsboro Scottsboro Scottsboro boys
Tell ya what it all about

Go to Alabama and ya better watch out
The landlord’ll get ya, gonna jump and shout
Scottsboro Scottsboro Scottsboro boys
Tell ya what it all about

I’m gonna talk to Joe Louis
And it all angered me
Don’t even try to think about it
Alabama ree
