Rose of Alabama |
Away from Mississippi’s vale |
With my ol' hat there for a sail |
I crossed upon a cotton bale |
To the Rose of Alabamy |
Oh brown Rosie, Rose of Alabamy |
The sweet tobacco posey is the Rose of Alabamy |
I landed on the far sand bank |
I sat upon the hollow plank |
And there I made the banjo twank |
For the Rose of Alabamy |
Oh brown Rosie, Rose of Alabamy |
The sweet tobacco posey is my Rose of Alabamy |
I says to her sit as you please |
Across my leg she took her ease |
It’s good to go upon the knees |
Said Rose of Alabamy |
Oh brown Rosie, Rose of Alabamy |
The sweet tobacco posey is my Rose of Alabamy |
The river rose; |
the cricket sang |
The lightnin' bug he flashed his wing |
And like a rope my arms I fling |
'Round Rose of Alabamy |
Oh brown Rosie, Rose of Alabamy |
The sweet tobacco posey is my Rose of Alabamy |
We hugged so long |
I cannot tell My Rosie seemed to like it well |
My banjo in the river fell Oh Rose of Alabamy |
Oh brown Rosie, Rose of Alabamy |
The sweet tobacco posey is my Rose of Alabamy |
Like alligator after prey |
I dives in but it float away |
And all the while it seem to say |
Oh Rose of Alabamy |
Oh brown Rosie, Rose of Alabamy |
The sweet tobacco posey is my Rose of Alabamy |
Now every day come rain or shower |
I hunt my banjo for an hour |
And meet my sweet tobacco flower |
Oh Rose of Alabamy |
Oh brown Rosie, Rose of Alabamy |
The sweet tobacco posey is my Rose of Alabamy |
Oh brown Rosie, Rose of Alabamy. |
The sweet tobacco posey is my Rose of Alabamy |
