Lyr Req: Roll Alabama Roll

From: GUEST,Salsa

Many years ago a Mysic Seaport's Music Festival, John Townley sang a song. I would love to hear it again. I know some of the words. The chorus goes like this

Roll Alabama
Roll Good ship through the dark and sounding main
The stars and bars and the southern rights to gain.

Does anyone know the name of theis song and if it is available any where?

Thanks,
Salsa

Go to the DT and, under 'R', click on Roll, Alabama, Roll.

Looking at the words that Salsa posted, it's clear to me he's not looking for the usual "Roll, Alabama, Roll" shanty.

Cheerily,

Yes, Charley, I suddenly realised that when I looked at his request again!
