[00:08.02]Alabama, your beautiful sunlight
[00:13.25]Your fields are so recent potatoes and corn
[00:19.06]Alabama, your crimson red clover
[00:24.40]All mingle around the old place I was born
[00:31.61]Alabama, your hills and your valleys
[00:36.92]Your creeks sing with laughter as onward they flow
[00:42.67]Alabama, so sweet in the springtime
[00:48.11]Sweet ferns and wild flowers and winter with snow
[00:55.34]Alabama, so sweet to my mem'ry
[01:00.62]You shine like a light on a beautiful hill
[01:06.32]Alabama, in days of my childhood
[01:11.69]I played there and toiled at the old sorghum mill
[01:26.33]Alabama, when red leaves are fallin'
[01:31.80]I roam through your pastures with fences of rail
[01:37.67]Alabama, when 'possums are crawlin'
[01:43.17]And hound dogs are howlin' and waggin' their tails.
[01:50.41]Alabama, your beautiful highways
[01:55.92]All curved through the mountains
[01:58.50]Where love ones do wait.
[02:01.81]Alabama, your golden rod flower
[02:07.04]And the "Welcome home" sign hangin' over the gate
[02:14.59]Alabama, to me you are callin'
[02:20.11]My footsteps are haltered no longer to stray
[02:25.98]Alabama, you hold all I long for
[02:31.58]You hold all I love so I'm comin' today
