Anthem of Alabama USA

Alabama
Written by Julia S. Tutwiler
Composed by Edna Gockel Gussen

Alabama, Alabama, We will aye be true to thee,
From thy Southern shores where groweth,
By the sea thy orange tree.
To thy Northern vale where floweth,
Deep blue the Tennessee,
Alabama, Alabama, we will aye be true to thee!

Broad thy stream whose name thou bearest;
Grand thy Bigbee rolls along;
Fair thy Coosa-Tallapoosa
Bold thy 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!

From thy prairies broad and fertile,
Where thy snow-white cotton shines,
To the hills where coal and iron
Hide in thy exausted mines,
Strong -armed miners -sturdy farmers;
Loyal hearts what'er we be,
Alabama, Alabama, we will aye be true to thee!

From thy quarries where the marble
White as that of Paros gleams
Waiting till thy sculptor'ss chisel,
Wake to life thy poet's dreams;
Fear not only wealth of nature,
Wealth of mind has no fee,
Alabama, Alabama, we will aye be true to thee!

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!

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.
Hearts as open as thy doorways.
Liberal hands and spirits free.
Alabama, Alabama, we will aye be true to thee!

Little, little can I give thee,
Alabama, mother mine.
But that little - hand, brain, spirit.
All I have and am are thine.
Take, O take, the gift and giver.
Take and serve thyself with me.
Alabama, Alabama, we will aye be true to thee!

Got Family there. Wonderful State.

Hi Haters. If you took time out of your busy day just to come here and hate on our flag then you are the biggest loser I could ever imagine. What kind of idiot spends their time looking up flags to hate on.

[scotinulster]

Beautiful flag. It's exactly the same as the old St. Patrick's flag of Ireland (which makes up part of the 'union jack' of the UK). Not sure if the Alabama flag is based on St. Pats flag but Alabama did have a lot of Scots-Irish settlers!

THUMBS UP FOR ALABAMA NEW IMMIGRATION LAW!

[NewHeathen78]

@AlabamaSoldier Your right. I got my my names mixed up there. Thanks for the correction.

[AlabamaSoldier]

@NewHeathen78 St. Anthony's cross is a T-shaped cross and is also known as the Tau Cross.

St. Andrews cross is an X-shaped cross after which is modeled the state flag of Alabama. The charter for the flag SPECIFICALLY calls for a "crimson Cross of St. Andrews."

Google is your friend.

@BamFor07 Look up the information on the state site. It's there.

[NewHeathen78]

@AlabamaSoldier It's modeled after many flags that bear St. Anthony's Cross. By the way, mainly a Scottish design/battle standard to my understanding.

[NewHeathen78]

@Indestructible229 Well, I spit on the cesspools you call California and New York.

[NewHeathen78]

@brettsworld99 Yeah. Foreigners are safer in the cities. The worst for blacks and foreigners to be in the the "Free State" of Winston County, even though I wouldn't want to be caught in Walker or Cullman and parts of Morgan Counties after dark if one were not white. Just stick to the cities after dark if you visit again and you'll be fine.
