Song language: English
Rose of Alabama |
| Away from Mississippi’s vale |
| With my ol' hat there for a sail |
| I crossed upon a cotton bale |
| To Rose of Alabamy |
| Cho: Oh brown Rosie |
| Rose of Alabamy |
| A sweet tobacco posey |
| Is my Rose of Alabamy |
| A sweet tobacco posey |
| Is my Rose of Alabamy |
| I landed on the far sand bank |
| I sat upon the hollow plank |
| And there I made the banjo twank |
| For Rose of Alabamy |
| Oh, arter d’rectly bye and bye |
| The moon rose white as Rosie’s eye |
| Den like a young coon out so sly |
| Stole Rose of Alabamy |
| I said sit down just where you please |
| Upon my lap she took her ease |
| «It's good to go upon the knees,» |
| Said Rose of Alabamy |
| The river rose; |
| the cricket sang |
| The lightnin' bug did flash his wing |
| Den like a rope my arms I fling |
| 'Round Rose of Alabamy |
| We hugged how long I cannot tell |
| My Rosie seemed to like it well |
| My banjo in the river fell |
| Oh Rose of Alabamy |
| Like alligator after prey |
| I jump in but it float away |
| And all the while it seem to say |
| «Oh Rose of Alabamy.» |
| Now every night come rain or shower |
| I hunt that banjo for an hour; |
| And see my sweet tobacco flower |
| Oh Rose of Alabamy |
| Oh fare thee well you belles of Spain |
| And fare thee well to Liza Jane |
| Your charms will all be put to shame |
| By Rose of Alabamy |
