Alabama John Cherokee trad John Cherokee was an Indian man He run away every time he can Alabama John Cherokee, way, hey, yah Alabama John Cherokee, way, hey, yah Alabama John Cherokee
They put him aboard a Yankee ship Alabama John Cherokee Again he gave the boss the slip Alabama John Cherokee, way, hey, yah Alabama John Cherokee, way, hey, yah
They catch him again and chain him tight Alabama John Cherokee And starve him many a day and night Alabama John Cherokee, way, hey, yah Alabama John Cherokee
Nothing to drink and nothin' to eat He just fall dead at the boss's feet Alabama John Cherokee, way, hey, yah Alabama John Cherokee, way, hey, yah Alabama John Cherokee
So they bury him by the old gate post The very same day you can see his ghost Alabama John Cherokee, way, hey, yah Alabama John Cherokee, way, hey, yah Alabama John Cherokee
