REAL state song of Alabama:

Broad the Stream whose name thou bearest
Grand thy Bigbee rolls along
Fair thy Coosa-Tallapoosa
Bold the Warrior, dark and strong
Goodlier than the land that Moses
Climbed lone Nebo's Mount to see
Alabama, Alabama
We will aye be true to thee

Brave and pure thy men and women
Better this than corn and wine
Make us worthy, God in Heaven
Of this goodly land of Thine

Where the perfumed south-wind whispers
Thy magnolia groves among
Softer than a mother's kisses
Sweeter than a mother's song
Where the golden jasmine trailing
Woos the treasure-laden bee
Alabama, Alabama
We will aye be true to thee

Wow!...... I'm Alabammy bound!

Hi Leni. Thanks for locating and posting the real Alabama state song.

I was curious about what a Coosa-Tallapoosa was. Google answered my question. It's a river between Alabama and Georgia. What an interesting name. LOL.
