E A E
Alabama, your beautiful sunlight
A E A B
Your fields of cerisa, potatos and corn
E A E
Alabama, your crimson red clover
A E A B
All mingled around the old place I was born
E A E
Alabama, your hills and your valleys
A E A B
Your creeks sing with laughter as onward they flow
E A E
Alabama, so sweet in the springtime
A E A B
Sweet ferns and wild flowers in winter with snow

E A E
Alabama, so sweet to my memory
A E A B
You shine like a light on the beautiful hill
E A E
Alabama, in days of my childhood
A E A B
I've labored and toiled at the old sorghum mill
E A E
Alabama, when red leaves are falling
A E A B
I've roamed through your pastures with fences of rail
E A E
Alabama, when possums are crawling and
A E A B
And hound dogs are whining and wagging their tails
E A E
Alabama, your beautiful highways
A E A B
Are carved through the mountain where loved ones do wait
E A E
Alabama, your goldenrod flowers
A E A B
And the welcome home sign hanging over the gate
E A E
Alabama, to me you are calling
A E A B
My footsteps are comin’ no longer to stray
E A E
Alabama, you hold all I long for
A E A B
You hold all I love, so I'm coming today
