INTRO

Alberta, Alberta, where you been so long
Tell me, Alberta, where you been so long
Hasn't been no lovin’ since you been gone

Alberta, Alberta, where'd you stay last night
Tell me, Alberta, where'd you stay last night
Come home this mornin’, sun was shinin’ bright

'F you see Alberta, tell her to hurry home
If you see Alberta, tell her to hurry home
Hasn't been no lovin’ since you been gone

Alberta, Alberta, what you goinna do?
Tell me, Alberta, what you goinna do?
Just a little bit of lovin’, let your heart be true
(spoken: Oh, step on it)

INSTRUMENTAL

I met Alberta, way across the sea
I met Alberta, way across the sea
She wouldn't write me no letter, she didn't care for me

Alberta, Alberta's a dear pal of mine
Alberta, Alberta's, dear pal of mine
And she left me walkin’, tears rollin’ and cryin’

I love Alberta, tell the world I do
I love Alberta, tell the world I do
Just a little bit of lovin’, let your heart be true
