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
After 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 harbor 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
Off the three mile limit in '64
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
