Roll Alabama

When the Alabama's keel was laid

Roll, Alabama, roll

She was laid in the yard of Jonathon Laird

Oh roll, Alabama, roll

She was laid in the yard of Jonathon 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

And for 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 hove into view

Oh roll, Alabama, roll

Roll, Alabama, roll

When the Yankee ship hove into view

Oh roll, Alabama, roll

A shot from the forward pivot that day

Roll, Alabama, roll

Blew the Alabama's steering gear away

Oh roll, Alabama, roll

Of 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
