Oh, moon of Alabama, we now must say good-bye
We've lost our good old mama
And must have whiskey, oh, you know why

There is no recording of this right? This would be as good a time as any. I'm sure his estate could get behind that.

I can't hear the Alabama Song - Jenny's entrance number in the opera - without flashing back to Jim Morrison and the Doors - first album.

She was singing "Alabama Song"

OH MOON OF ALABAMA
WE NOW MUST SAY GOODBYE
WE'VE LOST OUR GOOD OLD MAMA
AND MUST HAVE WHISKEY OR YOU KNOW WHY

There is a famous version of this song by The Doors.

Note: this is not a translation. The song is always sung in English - even when the rest of the opera is sung in German.

Bette Midler also used it in one of her older albums..

"Oh show me the way to the next whiskey bar...."

A lot of people have covered the song. It really wish i could see this show. Audra will do an excellent job in this part. It is so diffrent from what she has got to play before.
