Lyrics:
Birmingham, came from Alabama,                 
He had big eyes and a smile like Mama,      
Taking care of us English fella's,
Funny stories he could tell us,

We boarded the train to mysterious places,            
Someone brought some cards so we chased the aces,        
Dozing off to sleep in dark tracked open spaces,
We all Had kitbags not suitcases,

Birmingham, came from Alabama,
He had big eyes and a smile like Mama,
Taking care of us English fella's,
Funny stories he could tell us,

The train rolled, on to Portland Oregan,
Smoking a tickler with Jimmy Morgan,
We talked about our future plans,
A time when we had free'd our lands,

Birmingham, came from Alabama,
He had big eyes and a smile like Mama,
Taking care of us English fella's,
Funny stories he could tell us,

Since Winnie came back we've seen some action,
Taking this chance for some  relaxation,
We've had too many beers to hide our fears,
But for some it brought them to tears,

Birmingham, came from Alabama,
He had big eyes and a smile like Mama,
Taking care of us English fella's,
Funny stories he could tell us,

Rolling into the depot, they put us down a siding,
We had to muster, no use in hiding,
The shore patrol played their role,
Away they dispatched us to some lonely hole,

We said goodbye, to the man from Alabama,
He had big eyes and a smile like Mama,
He took care of us English fella's,
Funny stories he could tell us,

Birmingham



Walking down by the embankment,

With you, arm in arm,

We talked about our future,

The night, was so calm,


I told a joke and we laughed out loud,

We had ice cream, you had a 'ninety nine'


Well, sitting on a bench,

We watched a boaty crowd,

I held your handbag,

While you, cleaned your coat,



Sat by the river, a lady with a smile,

Asked? if she could sit with us a while,


I said, "sure my duck",

and she gave a look,

Did we mind, if she had a smoke?

I took out my pipe, and gave her a light,


She said, "thank you my dear,

and god bless You, for being here",

She told my girl, she looked nice,

and had we got, any youngens yet?

I said, "were not married,

We just got engaged",



She said, "let me read your palms,

I'll tell you whats in store,"

"Your going to be very happy,

You'll have one of each,

You'll not be rich,

but you'll never, be without,"


I smile, and my girl laughs, " oh my gosh"

and she began to blush,


Well, we had another smoke,

she told us about life,

I said that we had to go,

And I beckoned, my future wife,



"Goodnight my dears, I wish you good cheers,

Thanks for the light, and enjoy your pipe",


We walked down the embankment arm in arm,

Turned around to wave,

But she had gone,

God bless her, that lovely old dear



Walking down by the embankment,

With you, arm in arm,

We talked about our future,

The night was so calm,

Walking Down the Embankment

She ain't an heavy drinking woman

But she likes to bet on a horse

She ain't an heavy drinking woman

But she likes to bet on a horse

Well she can pick out a winner

That doesn't make her a sinner

Well she went out and picked you

Mighty Fine Woman


She tied me to the table leg
Now and again she threw me some bread
It didn't really blow my mind

It was just the way you know
When we lived with the travlin' show

She gave me a sister she called her you
I always had to look out for you
You always wore my hand me downs

It was just the way you know
When we lived with the travlin' show

Then a new father came along
she didn't know he was doing you wrong
Then they took him off to jail
But we stayed here with the travlin' show

You fell in love with man on the trapeze
He brought you a ring down on his knees
But you didn't go when he asked you to leave

It was just the way you know
You wanted to live with this travlin' show

You had your baby and mother knew
The travlin' show was the place for you
A babe in arms had all its charms
When we lived with the travlin' show

You tied baby to the table leg
Now and again you threw him some bread
It didn't really blow his mind

It was just the way you know
When we lived with the travlin' show

I had managed to fumble my way around  my keyboard and came up with a large amount of compositions and Ideas. Thanks to those who have endured my singing and listened, posted and yes even liked. However I have discovered the use of A.I. assisted software which although not perfect for what I want to produce, has turned out some rather amazing music and arrangements  to supliment my lyrics. The program does allow interaction by the way of the ability to add prompts and change insturments, voices etc. I shall be re-recording some of my older tracks using this software. Look forward to your comments. All Lyrics are written by Three badge Able. aka A.I. Limey
