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

My wife's named Mary but she's called Marie
We live in a three room house with a pepper tree
I work all day in the factory, that's alright with me
Got a big black dog, his name is Dan
Lives in my backyard in Birmingham
He's the meanest dog in Alabam' - Get 'em Dan
Birmingham, Birmingham
The greatest city in Alabam'
You can travel 'cross this entire land
There ain't no place like Birmingham
