pressgang mutiny - roll, alabama, roll! lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
when the alabama’s keel was laid
(roll, alabama, roll!)
it was laid in the yard of jonathan laird
(oh, roll, alabama, roll!)

[verse 2]
it was laid in the yard of jonathan laird
(roll, alabama, roll!)
it was laid in the town of birkenhead
(oh, roll, alabama, roll!)

[verse 3]
the year was eighteen+hundred and sixty+one
(roll, alabama, roll!)
and the great civil war had just begun
(oh, roll, alabama, roll!)

[verse 4]
well, down the mersey river she sailed then
(roll, alabama, roll!)
and liverpool fitted her with guns and men
(oh, roll, alabama, roll!)

[verse 5]
from the western isles she sailed forth
(roll, alabama, roll!)
to destroy all commerce of the north
(oh, roll, alabama, roll!)
[verse 6]
down to cherbourg port, she sailed one day
(roll, alabama, roll!)
to collect her share of prize money
(oh, roll, alabama, roll!)

[verse 7]
there many a good sailor met his doom
(roll, alabama, roll!)
when the ship kearsarge hove in view
(oh, roll, alabama, roll!)

[verse 8]
a shot from the forward pivot that day
(roll, alabama, roll!)
it shot the alabama’s stern away
(oh, roll, alabama, roll!)

[verse 9]
and by the three+mile limit, in sixty+four
(roll, alabama, roll!)
the alabama sank to the ocean floor
(oh, roll, alabama, roll!)
