Ernie Rowell - Waltz Over Alabama Lyrics

"WALTZ OVER ALABAMA"

Ernie Rowell (writer) Blue Creek Music, Inc

I love to smell the Camelia blossoms
And see cotton fields white as snow
Where mem'ries are made that won't be forgotten
In the land where the long leaf pines grow
Now we've waltzed in Kentucky and through Tennessee
But, just take my hand, there's much more to see

As we waltz over Alabama
From the mountains northeast
To the south gulf coast beach
Hear the War Eagle cries
And the sounds of Roll Tide
With the song of the yellowhammer
As we waltz over Alabama

Everyone loves Hank William's music
And the Commodores sure made their mark
Up in Muscle Shoals the Swampers made magic
Backing up all of those stars
Jeanne Pruett, Vern Gosdin, Freddie Hart, Sonny James
And who can forget the boys from Ft. Payne

As we waltz over Alabama
From the mountains northeast
To the south gulf coast beach
Hear the War Eagle cries
And the sounds of Roll Tide
Willie Mays and Hank The Hammer
Born and raised in Alabama

The Louvin's, the Delmore's, Toni Tenille and Emmylou
The great Dinah Washington was queen of the blues
Jimmy Buffet, Lionel Richie, and the smooth Nat King Cole
Clarence Carter, Wilson Picket, and Percy Sledge
Sure laid down some soul

As we waltz over Alabama
From the mountains northeast
To the south gulf coast beach
Hear the War Eagle cries
And the sounds of Roll Tide
With the song of the yellowhammer
As we waltz over Alabama

Waltz over Alabama
