When the Alabama's keel was laid |
|
Roll Alabama roll |
|
She was laid in the yard of Johnathan Laird |
|
Oh roll Alabama roll |
|
She was laid in the yard of Johnathan Laird |
|
Roll Alabama roll |
|
She was laid in the town of Birkenhead |
|
Oh roll Alabama roll |
|
Roll Alabama roll |
|
She was laid in the town of Birkenhead |
|
Oh roll Alabama roll |
|
Down Mersey channel she sailed then |
|
Roll Alabama roll |
|
And Liverpool gave her guns and men |
|
Oh roll Alabama roll |
|
Out of Mersey channel she set forth |
|
Roll Alabama roll |
|
To destroy the commerce of the north |
|
Oh roll Alabama roll |
|
Roll Alabama roll |
|
To destroy the commerce of the north |
|
Oh roll Alabama roll |
|
Into Cherbourg harbour she sailed one day |
|
Roll Alabama roll |
|
To collect her share of the prize money |
|
Oh roll Alabama roll |
|
And many a sailor met his doom |
|
Roll Alabama roll |
|
When the Yankee ship hauled into view |
|
Oh roll Alabama roll |
|
Roll Alabama roll |
|
When the Yankee ship hauled into view |
|
Oh roll Alabama roll |
|
A shot from the forward pivot that day |
|
Roll Alabama roll |
|
Blew the Alabama's shearing gear away |
|
Oh roll Alabama roll |
|
Of the three mile limit in sixty four |
|
Roll Alabama roll |
|
She sank to the bottom of the ocean floor |
|
Oh roll Alabama roll |
|
Roll Alabama roll |
|
She sank to the bottom of the ocean floor |
|
Oh roll Alabama roll |
|
Oh roll Alabama roll |
|
Oh roll Alabama roll |
