    The Governor at the time was George Wallace the segregationist, they say boo boo boo after saying in Birmingham they love the Governor. The song was a response to Neil Young's Southern Man saying don't lump in all southern men as being racist. After the this song came out it was thought they hated each other but couldn't be further from the truth, they liked and respected each other and if you look at the final album cover of Skynyrd Van Zant is wearing a Neil Young shirt

      Absolutely correct. I first saw them when they still had not released albums in 1972 at a free concert at San Diego State. Great show even then. My friend and I sat behind some Hell's Angels and my friend spilled his beer on one of them. We bought them a round and everything was cool, but at 17 we were scared. The music took attention away from us.

      Democrats invented and enforced segregation and forced sterilization laws until Buc vs Bell forced sterilization laws were overturned. Many of these eugenecists still promote the same policies as part of their "great white burden" to manage us, they only switched from overt to subversive from coercive to marketed. I have no love for the government neolib nannymarxists or the warmarxist neocons both want rights and monet for war & "the greater good".

    Neil Young wrote a couple of songs about racism in the south, “Southern Man” & “Alabama”, that seemed to paint all southerners as racists. “Sweet Home Alabama” was basically their response that not all southerners agreed with Governor Wallace the same way not all Northerners agreed with watergate. They did later say that they are big fans of Neil Young and they respect him as an artist and Neil Young said the same of Lynyrd Skynyrd.

    A great documentary is called Muscle Shoals, many bands have went to Muscle Shoals and made hit albums including Aretha Franklin. In New York they wanted to control Aretha and she was just on the edge of being a super star. She recorded in Muscle Shoals Alabama she took off and never looked back.

    The portion of the song referring to Governor George Wallace in particular made some believe that Lynyrd Skynyrd disagreed with desegregation, seeing as how the governor stood for "segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever".
    But others interpreted the lyrics as a reminder to Young that not all Southerners are the same. "We thought Neil was shooting all the ducks in order to kill one or two," Van Zant later said. "We're Southern rebels but, more than that, we know the difference between right and wrong." In fact, those "boos" are thought to imply that the band disagreed with Wallace's politics-and that bit about Watergate seems to be a pointed remark about the hypocrisy of the North, which had its own problems, too.

      Yep - Neil used to get death threats when he played in Alabama after this song came out, but he and the boys from Skynyrd were actually good friends. In fact, Neil offered his song 'Powderfinger' to Lynyrd Skynyrd but they passed, saying they felt he would do it better. Hell, Neil was an honourary pallbearer at Ronnie Van Zandt's funeral.

    My brother. Alabama's govenor was George Wallace. The song came out in 1974. Wallace in the 1960s was a presidential candidate as well. His stance was Segregation today. Segregation tomorrow. Segregation forever. In 1970 he was elected Governor of Alabama. In 1972 a guy, last name started with a B, tried to assassinate him. He shot 4 people Wallace being the target. It severed his spine and paralyzed him from the waist down. Wallace was beloved by Alabama. His acceptance speech for Governor in 1970 was written by a leader of the Ku Klux Klan. I remember him standing in front of a school with a baseball bat saying no Black person is going to white schools in his run. After his assassination attempt he mellowed and got nicer. But it was a little too little, a little too late.

    Something went down with Neil Young & Skynyrd ... Neil Young calling out Skynyrd as racist that's why you hear Neil Young in the song they were at it for years! But Neil came out saying he was wrong and they all made up LOL

      Carry me home to see my kin
      Singin' songs about the south-land
      I miss Alabamy once again and I think it's a sin, yes
      Well I heard Mister Young sing about her
      Well I heard ol' 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 comin' home to you
      In Birmingham they love the governor (boo-hoo-hoo)
      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 (oh yeah)
      Lord I'm comin' 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 (yes they do)
      Lord they get me off so much
      They pick me up when I'm feelin' blue
      Now how about you?
      Sweet home Alabama
      Where the skies are so blue
      Sweet home Alabama
      Lord I'm comin' home to you
      Sweet home Alabama (oh, sweet home)
      Where the skies are so blue
      And the governor's true
      Sweet home Alabama (lordy)

      Montgomery's got the answer

    Great song. Southern rock's quinticential classic. Alabama is a beautiful state by east of the Rockies standard. The majority of the people are super nice. But unfortunately the vein of racism which still exists taxes it.

    Lynyrd Skynyrd is not from Alabama. They actually call Florida home

    He’s say in Birmingham “they” love the governor.. he’s booing governor George Wallace which wanted segregation now and forever. The “they” in the lyrics are talking about the people that supported Wallace. Songs like this helped stop racism and more than people know. People see the rebel flag Skynyrd used and go straight to racism, and in fact it’s the opposite. It was heritage that’s it

    They were referring to George Wallace the segregationist. Boo, Boo, Boo. These boys were from the South but they were not racists like some will portray them.

    The Govenor was George Wallace. This was in the era of civil rights movements, and vietnam. Look up Selma Alabama riots if you're intersted
