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
