CONFEDERATE SONG ~ ROSE OF ALABAMY

I am a proud Texan and Southerner. God bless the South and y'all proud Southern fellers who love their heritage. Keep ya Southern colors a-flyin'. LYRICS: 1. Away from Mississippi's vale, With my ol' hat there for a sail, I crossed upon a cotton bale, To the Rose of Alabamy. CHORUS: Oh brown Rosie, Rose of Alabamy. The sweet tobacco posey is the Rose of Alabamy. 2. The river rose; the cricket sang, The lightnin' bug he flashed his wing, And like a rope my arms I fling, 'Round Rose of Alabamy. CHORUS 3. So fare thee well Eliza Jane, And fare thee well you belles of fame, For all your charms are put to shame, By the Rose of Alabamy CHORUS
