Roll Alabama Roll

When the Alabama Keel was laid 

Roll Alabama Roll 

It was laid in the yard of Jonathan Laird

 Oh! Roll Alabama Roll

It was laid in the yard of Jonathan Laird

Roll Alabama Roll

It was laid in the town of Birkenhead

Oh! Roll Alabama Roll

Down the Mersey Way she rolled then

 Roll Alabama Roll

Liverpool fitted her with Guns and Men

 Oh! Roll Alabama Roll

From the Western Isles she sailed forth

Roll Alabama Roll

 To destroy the commerce of the North

 Oh! Roll Alabama Roll

To Cherbourg Port she sailed one day

Roll Alabama Roll

To take her count of prize money

Oh! Roll Alabama Roll

Many a Sailor lad foresaw his doom

Roll Alabama Roll

When the Kersage move in view

Oh! Roll Alabama Roll

A Ball from the forward pivot that day

Roll Alabama Roll

Shot the Alabama's Stern away

Oh! Roll Alabama Roll

Up the three mile limit in 64

Roll Alabama Roll

The Alabama Sank to the Ocean floor

 Oh! Roll Alabama Roll

When the Alabama's Keel was laid

Roll Alabama Roll

It was laid in the yard of Jonathan Laird

Roll Roll Alabama Roll
