E MajorE
Alabama, your beautiful sunlight
   BB
Your fields of cerisa, potatos and corn
E MajorE
Alabama, your crimson red clover
   BB
All mingled around the old place I was born

E MajorE
Alabama, your hills and your valleys
   BB
Your creeks sing with laughter as onward they flow
E MajorE
Alabama, so sweet in the springtime
   BB
Sweet ferns and wild flowers in winter with snow


E MajorE
Alabama, so sweet to my memory
  BB
You shine like a light on the beautiful hill
E MajorE
Alabama, in days of my childhood
   BB
I've labored and toiled at the old sorghum mill


E MajorE
Alabama, when red leaves are falling
   BB
I've roamed through your pastures with fences of rail
E MajorE
Alabama, when possums are crawling and
  BB
And hound dogs are whining and wagging their tails


E MajorE
Alabama, your beautiful highways
  BB
Are carved through the mountain where loved ones do wait
E MajorE
Alabama, your goldenrod flowers
    BB
And the welcome home sign hanging over the gate


E MajorE
Alabama, to me you are calling
  BB
My footsteps are comin’ no longer to stray
E MajorE
Alabama, you hold all I long for
  BB
