  • Neil Young + Promise of the Real performs "Alabama" at Farm Aid's 30th anniversary concert at FirstMerit Bank Pavilion at Northerly Island in downtown Chicago, Illinois, on September 19.
    Farm Aid was started by Willie Nelson, Neil Young and John Mellencamp in 1985 to keep family farmers on the land and has worked since then to make sure everyone has access to good food from family farmers. Dave Matthews joined Farm Aid's board of directors in 2001.
    For more information about Farm Aid, visit: farmaid.org/you...
    Farm Aid's performances are donated by the artists in order to raise funds and raise awareness for family farmers. They've raised their voices to help - what can you do?

    This was the first performance of this song in 28 years. The last time he played this was in 1977, the night Ronnie Van Zant died.

    I always thought the two best songs on Harvest were this song and "Words". That's saying a lot, I know, considering all the other great ones: "Harvest", Heart of Gold", and "Old Man", as well as "The Needle And The Damage Done". Just a great, great album. His only number one album, and it scared him to think he might be considered "middle of the road".

So many great albums, so many great songs ...he changed my life, this relationship will only end when I go to the paradise, comforted by the fact that others will fill in for me. poetry in motion and substance...

    After many years of polls amongst NY fans Old Man has been voted best tune over Heart of gold .Deserved in my humble opinion. HOG is still interesting as it has phrases ,lyrics etc that seem to me that are taken from the Henry V111 Greensleeves tune that is attached to no author except that one of Henry’s many minstrels wrote it.Running Dry A requiem for the Rockets is unmistakable Green sleeves .

    Alabama (Alabama)
    Oh Alabama
    Oh Alabama
    The devil fools
    Le diable déjoue
    With the best laid plan.
    Les plans les mieux conçus.
    Swing low Alabama
    Tourne au ralenti Alabama
    You got spare change
    Tu as de la ressource
    You got to feel strange
    Tu dois te sentir bizarre
    And now the moment
    Et c'est maintenant que l'instant
    Is all that it meant.
    Prend tout son sens.
    Alabama, you got
    Alabama, sur tes épaules
    The weight on your shoulders
    Tu portes le poids
    That's breaking your back.
    Qui te brise l'échine.
    Your Cadillac
    Ta Cadillac
    Has got a wheel in the ditch
    A une roue dans le fossé
    And a wheel on the track
    Et une autre sur la route.
    Oh Alabama
    Oh Alabama
    Banjos playing
    Des banjos jouent
    Through the broken glass
    A travers les vitres brisées
    Windows down in Alabama.
    Les fenêtres tombent en Alabama.
    See the old folks
    Regarde les vieux
    Tied in white ropes
    Ligotés dans des cordes blanches
    Hear the banjo.
    Ecoute le banjo.
    Don't it take you down home ?
    Ça ne te ramène pas au pays ?
    Alabama, you got
    Alabama, sur tes épaules
    The weight on your shoulders
    Tu portes le poids
    That's breaking your back.
    Qui te brise l'échine.
    Your Cadillac
    Ta Cadillac
    Has got a wheel in the ditch
    A une roue dans le fossé
    And a wheel on the track
    Et une autre sur la route.
    Oh Alabama.
    Oh Alabama
    Can I see you
    Puis-je te rencontrer
    And shake your hand.
    Et te serrer la main
    Make friends down in Alabama.
    Fais-toi des amis en Alabama.
    I'm from a new land
    Je suis d'un pays nouveau
    I come to you
    Je viens vers vous
    And see all this ruin
    Et je vois tout ce gâchis
    What are you doing Alabama ?
    Qu'est-ce que tu fabriques, Alabama ?
    You got the rest of the union
    Tu as tout le reste de l'Union
    To help you along
    Pour te tendre la main
    What's going wrong ?
    Qu'est-ce qui ne va pas ?
