Songtexte Roll Alabama - Bellowhead

When the Alabama's keel was laid
Roll, Alabama, roll!
She was laid in the yard of Jonathan Lett
Oh, roll, Alabama, roll!
She was laid in the yard of Jonathan Lett
Roll, Alabama, roll!
She was laid in the town of Birkenhead
Oh, roll, Alabama, roll!
Roll, Alabama, roll!
She was laid in the town of Birkenhead
Oh, roll, Alabama, roll!

Down Mersey Channel she sailed then
Roll, Alabama, roll!
And Liverpool gave her guns and men
Oh, roll, Alabama, roll!
Out the Mersey Channel she set forth
Roll, Alabama, roll!
To destroy the commerce of the North
Oh, roll, Alabama, roll!
Roll, Alabama, roll!
To destroy the commerce of the North
Oh, roll, Alabama, roll!

Into Cherbourg harbour she sailed one day
Roll, Alabama, roll!
To collect her share of the prize money
Oh, roll, Alabama, roll!
And many a sailor met his doom
Roll, Alabama, roll!
When the Yankee ship hove into view
Oh, roll, Alabama, roll!
Roll, Alabama, roll!
When the Yankee ship hove into view
Oh, roll, Alabama, roll!

A shot from the forward pivot that day
Roll, Alabama, roll!
Blew the Alabama's steering gear away
Oh, roll, Alabama, roll!
Off the three-mile limit in '64
Roll, Alabama, roll!
She sank to the bottom of the ocean floor
Oh, roll, Alabama, roll!
Roll, Alabama, roll!
She sank to the bottom of the ocean floor
Oh, roll, Alabama, roll!
Oh, roll, Alabama, roll!
Oh, roll, Alabama, roll!
