Story behind the song
Lynyrd Skynyrd are from Jacksonville, Florida. They wrote this song about their impressions of Alabama and as a tribute to the studio musicians at Muscle Shoals Sound Studios, where they recorded from 1970-1972. The studios gained fame during the ’60s and ’70s when it became the vogue thing for bands to record there. Artists like Bo Diddley, Aretha Franklin, and many big southern rock groups recorded there. \»The Swampers\» was a name Leon Russell’s producer Denny Cordell came up with for the musicians, and when Russell earned a Gold Record for his 1971 album Leon Russell and the Shelter People (recorded at Muscle Shoals Sound Studios), he gave one to the guys that said, \»Presented to The Swampers.\» (These commemorative gold records were often given to folks who helped create or market the album, and they often went to record executives or radio stations). Lynyrd Skynyrd saw the record, and when they included the line, \»Muscle Shoals has got The Swampers\» in this song, they popularized the nickname and brought a lot of attention to these Alabama players who worked behind the scenes on many famous recordings. To find out how the nickname originated in the first place, a Swamper was asked — bass player David Hood, who said: \»We had been working with Leon, we had been working with Denny Cordell, who was his producer. I think Denny came up with the name. We did an album called The Shelter People. And on the album, there were musicians on some tracks from Tulsa — Carl Radle and some of the guys from out there — and tracks by us. And to differentiate, he wrote down \»The Muscle Shoals Swampers\» on the ones we did, and the Tulsa one, I don’t know what he called them, but the Tulsa people on the others. And that just kind of took.\» [1]
As for Skynyrd’s Muscle Shoals output, they recorded a full album there in 1972 which wasn’t released until nine of the tracks were included on their 1978 album (after their tragic plane crash) \»Skynyrd’s First and. Last.\» According to David Hood, the tape from the sessions, which included their song \»Free Bird,\» got kinked at some point after it left the studio, and when the band’s manager would play it for record companies, it was flipped and sounded terrible. The band wasn’t happy with the Muscle Shoals crew at the time, but put aside any hard feelings when they found out the recordings were fine if played correctly. These early Skynyrd recordings were produced by Muscle Shoals house musician Jimmy Johnson; the band’s first release was produced by Al Kooper.
\»Sweet Home Alabama\» has lyrics, which was written as an answer to two songs, \»Southern Man\» and \»Alabama\» by Neil Young, which dealt with themes of racism and slavery in the American South. \»We thought Neil was shooting all the ducks in order to kill one or two,\» said Ronnie Van Zant at the time. [2]
George Wallace was the governor of Alabama when the song was released. He loved this song, especially the line, \»In Birmingham, they love the governor,\» and he made the band honorary Lieutenant Colonels in the state militia. [2]
Wallace may not have listened very carefully, however, as Ronnie Van Zant explained: \»The lyrics about the governor of Alabama were misunderstood. The general public didn’t notice the words ‘Boo! Boo! Boo!’ after that particular line and the media picked up only on the reference to the people loving the governor.\» Van Zant added, \»We’re not into politics, we don’t have no education, and Wallace don’t know anything about rock and roll.\»
The song appears in numerous movies, including \»Forrest Gump,\» 2003’s \»The Texas Chainsaw Massacre,\» \»Crimson Tide,\» \»Con Air,\» \»Joe Dirt,\» \»Sweet Home Alabama\» and \»Despicable Me.\» [3]

Как человек, относящийся к этой сфере, скажу, что у неё мало перспектив. Она Вам неосновательное обогащение предъявляет? Почему у неё мало шансов:
1. Деньги перевели в день сделки, вы покажете это выпиской и договором купли-продажи. Вы же его не выбросили?
2. То что деньги перевел другой человек, ничего не значит особо. Позиция простая «пришли две девушки, представились родственниками, деньги перевели. Им так удобнее.» Пусть объясняют почему они так сделали.
3. Поднимаем выписку звонков и показываем, что эта леди, которая «ничего не знает, я ошиблась», перед этим кучу раз Вам звонила. Этим Вы покажете, что такие звонки привели к подписанию данного договора.
Вас посчитают добросовестным продавцом. Да, в суде может всякое быть, но шансов мало. Да и это будет первая инстанция.
Я бы на Вашем месте, сделал предупредительный удар и написал заявление в ОБЭП по 159, 165 статьям УК РФ(может каким ещё), мошенничество. Можно так и указать, что Вы видите, что девушка пытается нажиться и может она вообще изначально так и планировала, а это схема.
