When the Alabama's keel was laid
Roll, Alabama, roll
She was laid in the yard of Jonathan Lett
Oh, roll, Alabama, roll
She was laid in the yard of Jonathan Lett
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
Oh
And I'm
Down by

At Mersey Channel she sailed dead
Roll, Alabama, roll
And Liverpool gave her guns and men
Oh, roll, Alabama, roll
At Mersey Channel she set forth
Roll, Alabama, roll
To destroy the common south and north
Oh, roll, Alabama, roll
Roll, Alabama, roll
To destroy the common south and north
Oh, roll, Alabama, roll
To destroy the common south and north
Get the shovel, garbage, sail one day
Roll, Alabama, roll
To collect a share of the prize money
Oh, roll, Alabama, roll
Underneath Salem that's his doom
Roll, Alabama, roll
And the Yankees should move into view
Oh, roll, Alabama, roll
Roll, Alabama, roll
When the Yankees ship hold him to view
Oh, roll, Alabama, roll
A shot from the forward pivot that day
Roll, Alabama, roll
Through the island, steering him away
Oh, roll, Alabama, roll
Of the three-mile 1964
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
