[Verse 1]
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.
[Chorus]
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.
[Verse 2]
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.
[Chorus]
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.
[Outro]
In the calm of the night, we'll drift on,
With the Alabama river, our love will go on.
