Oh Alabama river

In the shade of the great oak tree,

She dances softly, wild and free.

With whispers of the Alabama breeze,

A simple woman brings me to my knees.

Oh, the river flows, and so does she.

Refrain :

Oh, Alabama river, carry me home,

To the simple joys where I can roam.

With a woman so sweet, by my side she'll stay,

Through the gentle waters, we'll find our way.

Sunshine kisses her golden hair,

With every step, love fills the air.

She hums a tune of days gone by,

While reeds around her softly sigh.

A heart so pure, like waters so clear.

Refrain :

Oh, Alabama river, carry me home,

To the simple joys where I can roam.

With a woman so sweet, by my side she'll stay,

Through the gentle waters, we'll find our way.

In the calm of the night, we'll drift on,

With the Alabama river, our love will go on.
