" A L A B A M A " Written and recorded by the Louvin Bros. From the LP "Tragic Songs of Life" Acuff-Rose Music, Recorded May 25, 1955 Capo 1 3/4 Waltz Alabama, your beautiful sunlight Your fields of cerisa, potatos and corn Alabama, your crimson red clover All mingled around the old place I was born Alabama, your hills and your valleys Your creeks sing with laughter as onward they flow Alabama, so sweet in the springtime Sweet ferns and wild flowers in winter with snow Alabama, so sweet to my memory You shine like a light on the beautiful hill Alabama, in days of my childhood I've labored and toiled at the old sorghum mill Alabama, when red leaves are falling I've roamed through your pastures with fences of rail Alabama, when possums are crawling and And hound dogs are whining and wagging their tails Alabama, your beautiful highways Are carved through the mountain where loved ones do wait Alabama, your goldenrod flowers And the welcome home sign hanging over the gate Alabama, to me you are calling My footsteps are comin’ no longer to stray Alabama, you hold all I long for You hold all I love, so I'm coming today
