[Verse 1]
Got a wife, got a family
Earn my living with my hand
I'm a roller in a steel mill
Downtown Birmingham

[Verse 2]
My daddy was a barber
A most unsightly man
He was born in Tuscaloosa
He died right here in Birmingham

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

[Piano Solo]

[Verse 3]
Wife's named Mary but she's called Marie
Live in a three-room house with a pepper tree
I work all day in the factory
And that's alright with me
[Verse 4]
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

[Chorus]
Birmingham, Birmingham
The greatest city in Alabam'
You can travel 'cross this entirе land
There ain't no place likе Birmingham
