Rose of Alabama 2nd South Carolina String Band

Away from Mississippi's vale
With my ol' hat there for a sail
I crossed upon a cotton bale
To the Rose of Alabamy
Oh brown Rosie, Rose of Alabamy
The sweet tobacco posey is the Rose of Alabamy

I landed on the far sand bank
I sat upon the hollow plank
And there I made the banjo twank
For the Rose of Alabamy
Oh brown Rosie, Rose of Alabamy
The sweet tobacco posey is my Rose of Alabamy

I says to her sit as you please
Across my leg she took her ease
It's good to go upon the knees
Said Rose of Alabamy
Oh brown Rosie, Rose of Alabamy
The sweet tobacco posey is my Rose of Alabamy

Thе river rose; the crickеt sang
The lightnin' bug he flashed his wing
And like a rope my arms I fling
'Round Rose of Alabamy
Oh brown Rosie, Rose of Alabamy
The sweet tobacco posey is my Rose of Alabamy
