State Song
Alabama

Alabama, Alabama we will aye be true to thee,
 From thy Southern shores where groweth
 By the sea thy orange tree.
To thy Northern vale where floweth,
 Deep blue the Tennessee.
 Alabama, Alabama, we will aye be true to thee.
 Broad thy stream whose name thou bearest,
  Grand thy Bigbee rolls along,
Fair thy Coosa-Tallapoosa,
Bold thy Warrior dark and strong.
Goodlier than the land that Moses
 Climbed lone Nebb's Mount to see.
Alabama, Alabama, we will aye be true to thee.
Brave and pure thy men and womeen,
Better this than corn and wine
 Make us worthy, God in Heaven
Of this goodly land of Thine.
Hearts as open as thy doorways.
Liberal hands and spirits free.
Alabama, Alabama, we will aye be true to thee.
Little, little can I give thee,
Alabama, mother mine.
But that little - hand, brain, spirit.
All I have and am are thine.
Take, O take, the gift and giver.
Take and serve thyself with me.
Alabama, Alabama, we will aye be true to thee.
