THE ALABAMA BLOSSOMS
Trad. folk 
Key: D

-2* 3 -3   -1   -5   -3 3* -3 -5 -4
Far a-way down south in Al-a-bam-a
  2   -2*  -3   3   -2*
Where the dark-ies plant 
 3   4* -4   2  -4   -3
the cot-ton and the corn
-2* 3    -3   -1     -5
in that land where blooms 
-3    3*  -3  -5  -4
the sweet mag-nol-las
2   -2* -3  3 -2*  3   4*  -4
in that par-a-dise us dark-ies 
3   1*  2 -1
we were born
-2*  2 -1* 2  -2*  3
old Mas-sa he was kind, 
 3  -2*  2  -2* -4  -3
and lit-tle Mis-sus too
  -3   3* 3*  3*  -4
they’d be a-mus’d to
 6 -6*  6   -5    4*
see us jump and dance
-2*  3     -3   -1 -5 -3 3*-3  4*   -4
oh, they called us Al-a-bam-a Blos-soms
 2   -2*  -3  3  -2*
and we’re go-ing back
 3    4*  -3  3  1* 2 -1
when e’er we get a chance
