Lotte Lenya (Alabama Mamma)

[Llonaid]

Can anyone help please? I am trying to find a Song by an old singer by the name of Lotte Lenya. As far a I remember, the song was called 'Alabama Mamma'. I don't seem to be able to find any reference to it, but perhaps I have the wrong title. Any help in tracing this would be appreciated.

She's also referenced in Bobby Darin's Mack the Knife... seen here:

Now Jenny Diver, ho, ho, yeah, Sukey Tawdry
Ooh, Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
Oh, the line forms on the right, babe
Now that Macky's back in town

I said Jenny Diver, whoa, Sukey Tawdry
Look out to Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
Yes, that line forms on the right, babe
Now that Macky's back in town
Look out, old Macky's back!

Didn't David Bowie cover this song?

Yes and so did The Doors.

Wow, thanks everyone for the links. I've often wondered who the words in "Mack the Knife" referred to.
