The song was recorded in 1966, listed as "Alabama Song (Whisky Bar).". Jim Morrison, changed the second verse from: "Show us the way to the next pretty boy" to "Show me the way to the next little girl". In addition, the verse from the original, "Show me the way to the next little dollar" is omitted. Keyboardist Ray Manzarek plays the marxophone on this song along with the organ and keyboard bass.
