Capo 1

3/4 Waltz


E
Alabama, your beautiful sunlight
     B
Your fields of cerisa, potatos and corn
E

Alabama, your crimson red clover
     B
All mingled around the old place I was born


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


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


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


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


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