Alabama, Alabama
We will aye be true to thee, From thy Southern shores where groweth. By the sea thy orange tree To thy Northern vale where floweth, Deep blue the Tennessee Alabama, Alabama, we will aye be true to thee. |

|
Broad thy stream whose
name thou bearest,
Grand thy Bigbee rolls along Fair thy Coosa-Tallapoosa, Bold thy Warrior dark and strong. Goodlier than the land that Moses Climbed lone Nebb's Mount to see. Alabama, Alabama, we will aye be true to thee. |

|
Brave and pure thy men and womeen,
Better this than corn and wine Make us worthy, God in Heaven Of this goodly land of Thine. Hearts as open as thy doorways. Liberal hands and spirits free. Alabama, Alabama, we will aye be true to thee. Little, little can I give thee, Alabama, mother mine. But that little - hand, brain, spirit. All I have and am are thine. Take, O take, the gift and giver. Take and serve thyself with me. Alabama, Alabama, we will aye be true to thee. |
