Alabama

Alabama

your beautiful sunlight

Your fields of cerecea potatoes and corn

Alabama

your crimson red clover

All mingled around the old place I was born.

Alabama

your hills and your valleys

Your creeks with laughter as onward they flow

Alabama

so sweet in the springtime

Sweet ferns and wild flowers and winter with snow.

Alabama

so sweet to my mem'ry

You shine like a light on a beautiful hill

Alabama

in days of my childhood

I labored and toiled at the old sorghum mill

Alabama

when red leaves are failing

I roam through your pastures with fences of rail

Alabama

when 'possums are crawling

And hound dogs are howling and wagging their tails.

Alabama

your beautiful highways

All curved through the mountains where love ones do wait

Alabama

your golden rod flower;

And the "Welcome home' sign hanging over the gate

Alabama

to me you are callin'

My footsteps are haltered no longer to stray

Alabama

you hold all I long for

You hold all I love so I'm coming today
