Alabama, your beautiful sunlight
F C F G
Your fields of cerisa, potatos and corn
C F C
Alabama, your crimson red clover
F C F G
All mingled around the old place I was born
C F C
Alabama, your hills and your valleys
F C F G
Your creeks sing with laughter as onward they flow
C F C
Alabama, so sweet in the springtime
F C F G
Sweet ferns and wild flowers in winter with snow
C F C
Alabama, so sweet to my memory
F C F G
You shine like a light on the beautiful hill
C F C
Alabama, in days of my childhood
F C F G
I've labored and toiled at the old sorghum mill
C F C
Alabama, when red leaves are falling
F C F G
I've roamed through your pastures with fences of rail
C F C
Alabama, when possums are crawling and
F C F G
And hound dogs are whining and wagging their tails
C F C
Alabama, your beautiful highways
F C F G
Are carved through the mountain where loved ones do wait
C F C
Alabama, your goldenrod flowers
F C F G
And the welcome home sign hanging over the gate
C F C
Alabama, to me you are calling
F C F G
My footsteps are comin’ no longer to stray
C F C
Alabama, you hold all I long for
F C F G
You hold all I love, so I'm coming today
