The Louvin Brothers
Alabama
[Verse 1]
Alabama, your beautiful sunlight
Your fields of cereza, potatoes and corn
Alabama, your crimson red clover
All mingle around the old place I was born
[Verse 2]
Alabama, your hills and your valleys
Your creeks sing with laughter as onward they flow
Alabama, so sweet in the springtime
Sweet ferns and wildflowers and winter with snow
[Verse 3]
Alabama, so sweet to my memory
You shine like a light on a beautiful hill
Alabama in days of my childhood
I labored and toiled at the old sorghum mill
[Verse 4]
Alabama, when red leaves are falling
I'll roam through your pastures with fences of rail
Alabama, when possums are crawling
And hound dogs are whining and wagging their tail
[Verse 5]
Alabama, your beautiful highways
Are carved through the mountain where loved ones do wait
Alabama, your goldenrod flowers
And your "Welcome Home" sign hanging over the gate
[Verse 6]
Alabama, to me you are calling
My footsteps are hoping no longer to stray
Alabama, you hold all I long for
You hold all I love so I'm coming today
