  			 G  
Away from Mississippi's vale, 
                      D     G  
With my ol' hat there for a sail 
G 
I crossed upon a cotton bale 
   D          G 
To Rose of Alabamy. 
 
C 
Oh brown Rosie, 
C 
Rose of Alabamy 
  G 
A sweet tobacco posey 
       D          G  
Is the Rose of Alabamy 
 
The river rose; the cricket sang 
The lightnin' bug it flashed it?s wang 
Then like a rope my arms I flang 
'Round Rose of Alabamy 
 
Chorus 
 
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 
 
Chorus
