Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Rose of Alabama From: Doug Chadwick Date: 11 Sep 06 - 05:06 PM OK, so I've just checked the DT to find that my last verse is in there already, but at least I've managed to add one verse. DC |
Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Rose of Alabama From: Doug Chadwick Date: 11 Sep 06 - 04:59 PM I have two extra verses not shown in this thread; Ever since the day I left the farm A dusky maid has kept me warm But still I long for the tawny charms Of the Rose of Alabama So fair thee well little Liza-Jane And fair thee well you Belles of Spain For all your charms are put to shame By the Rose of Alabama Although all the versions I have found have the straight forward verse/chorus/verse/chorus....., I find the song rather long and so prefer to sing it as 2 verses/chorus/2 verses/chorus.......

Subject: Lyr Add: ROSE OF ALABAMA (S. S. Steele) From: Jim Dixon Date: 09 Sep 06 - 06:54 PM Here's my transcription from the sheet music at The Lester S. Levy Collection of Sheet Music. I have kept the original spelling, including dialect. Although I don't recommend singing it this way, I find it interesting to see how the dialect was written: (WORDS USED BY PERMISSION OF TURNER & FISHER). THE ROSE OF ALABAMA Words by S. S. Steele Sung by A. F. WINNEMORE & HIS BAND OF SERENADERS Boston: Geo. P. Reed, 17 Tremont Row 1846 1. Away from Mississippi's vale, Wid my ole hat dar for a sail, I cross'd upon a cotton bale To Rose ob Alabama. CHORUS: Oh, brown Rosey, De Rose ob Alabama. A sweet tobacco posey Is de Rose of Alabama. A sweet tobacco posey Is de Rose of Alabama. 2. I landed on de sand bank. I sat upon a holler plank, An' dare I made the banjo twank, For Rose ob Alabama. 3. Oh, arter d'reckley, by an' by, De moon rose white as Rosey's eye, Den like a young coon out so sly, Stole Rose ob Alabama. 4. I axe her set down whar she please, So cross my legs she took her ease. "It's good to go upon de knees," Says Rose ob Alabama. 5. De river rolled, de crickets sing, De lightnin' bug he flash'd his wing, And like a rope my arms I fling Round Rose of Alabama. 6. I hug so long I cannot tell, For Rosey seemed to like it well. My banjo in de river fell, Oh, Rose ob Alabama. 7. Like alligator arter prey, I plunge in, but it float away, And all de time it seemed to say, "Oh, Rose ob Alabam." 8. And ev'ry night in moon or shower, I hunt dat banjo for an hour, I meet my sweet tobacco flower, Oh, Rose ob Alabama. |

Subject: Lyr Add: ROSE OF ALABAMA From: Bill in Alabama Date: 12 Oct 98 - 06:16 AM I have a copy of the sheet music somewhere. By the time I found the music I had already collected the song from the oral tradition and learned it for performance, so that the version here may vary somewhat from printed sources and from that of other singers.
Across from Mississippi’s vale,
CHO: O brown Rosie,
After directly, by and by, CHORUS
The river roll, the cricket sing, CHORUS
Like alligator after prey |
