Got a wife got a family
Earn my livin' with my hand
I'm a roller in a steel mill
In downtown Birmingham.

My daddy was a barber
And a most unsightly man
He was born in Tuscaloosa
But he died right here in Birmingham.

Birmingham Birmingham
The greatest city in Alabam'
You can travel 'cross this entire land
There ain't no place like Birmingham.

Got a wife named Mary
But she's called Marie
We live in a three room house
With a pepper tree
And I work all day in the factory
That's alright with me.

Got a big black dog
And his name is Dan
Who lives in my backyard in Birmingham
He is the meanest dog in Alabam'
Get 'em Dan.

Birmingham Birmingham
The greatest city in Alabam'
You can travel 'cross this entire land
There's ain't place like Birmingham.
