Lynyrd Skynyrd is an American rock band best known for popularizing the Southern rock genre during the 1970s with songs such as "Sweet Home Alabama" and "Free Bird". It formed in Jacksonville, Florida, in 1964 under the name My Backyard with original members

  • Ronnie Van Zant (lead vocalist),
  • Gary Rossington (guitar),
  • Allen Collins (guitar),
  • Larry Junstrom (bass guitar)
  • Bob Burns (drums).

The band spent five years touring small venues under a variety of different names and with several lineup changes before finally deciding on "Lynyrd Skynyrd" in 1969.

The band released their first album in 1973, having settled on a lineup that included bassist Leon Wilkeson and former Strawberry Alarm Clock guitarist Ed King. Burns would later be replaced by Artimus Pyle and King by Steve Gaines. Ronnie Van Zant, Steve Gaines, and backup singer Cassie Gaines were killed in an airplane crash on October 20, 1977, putting an abrupt end to the 1970s era of the band.

Sweet Home Alabama

Sweet Home Alabama Sweet Home Alabama
Turn it up

Big wheels keep on turning
Carry me home to see my kin
Singing songs about the south-land
I miss 'ole' 'bamy once again
And I think it's a sin, yes

Well I heard Mister Young sing about her
Well I heard old Neil put her down
Well, I hope Neil Young will remember
A southern man don't need him around anyhow

Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you

In Birmingham they love the Gov'nor, boo hoo ooo
Now we all did what we could do
Now Watergate does not bother me
Does your conscience bother you?
Tell the truth

Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you, here I come Alabama

Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers
And they've been known to pick a song or two
Lord they get me off so much
They pick me up when I'm feeling blue
Now how bout you?

Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you

Sweet home Alabama, oh sweet home
Where the skies are so blue and the Governor's true
Sweet home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you, yeah yeh
Zet het harder

Grote wielen blijven draaien
Breng me naar huis om mijn familie te zien
Zingende liedjes over het Zuidland
Ik mis Bamy opnieuw
En ik denk dat het een zonde is, ja

Ik hoorde meneer Young over haar zingen
Nou ik hoorde dat de oude Neil haar neerlegde
Nou, ik hoop dat Neil Young het zich zal herinneren
Een zuidelijke man heeft hem toch niet nodig

Sweet home Alabama
Waar de lucht zo blauw is
Sweet home Alabama
Heer, ik kom naar u toe

In Birmingham houden ze van de Gov'nor, boo hoo ooo
Nu deden we allemaal wat we konden doen
Nu stoort Watergate mij niet
Stoort uw geweten u?
Vertel de waarheid

Sweet home Alabama
Waar de lucht zo blauw is
Sweet home Alabama
Heer, ik kom naar u toe, hier kom ik Alabama

Nu heeft Muscle Shoals de Swampers
En ze staan erom bekend een nummer of twee te kiezen
Heer, ze halen me er zo van af
Ze halen me op als ik me blauw voel
Hoe zit het met jou?

Sweet home Alabama
Waar de lucht zo blauw is
Sweet home Alabama
Heer, Ik kom naar je toe

Sweet home Alabama, oh sweet home
Waar de lucht zo blauw is en de gouverneur waar is
Sweet home Alabama
Heer, ik kom naar u toe, ja ja
