They say a friend Ain't to be Between a girl and a boy I don't know who said it Or why it got to be so wrong Oh why don't you call Don't you care anymore It's not fair Don't let 'em get you It took us both and now I got to fix you Well I don't know how to fix you You say it's just the way it's got to be, but how so? Why Is an awful lot of question And I can't give me no answer I keep wondering on Oh why can't you see That I'm not trying to be No kind of bother I'm just trying to say what was left between you and me And where we left it before they took it And you know they took it all And took off Oh why did I let them drive a wedge between Well I watched it, and I didn't say nothing And now I'm crying when I sleep Now I'm sayin', I'm prayin', to that sweet melody in my soul Why Is an awful lot of question And I can't give me no answer I keep wondering on I wanna know, who said it Well who said that, oh Lord

Away from Mississippi's vale, With my ol' hat there for a sail, I crossed upon a cotton bale, To Rose of Alabamy. Cho: Oh brown Rosie, Rose of Alabamy. A sweet tobacco posey Is my Rose of Alabamy. A sweet tobacco posey Is my Rose of Alabamy. I landed on the far sand bank, I sat upon the hollow plank, And there I made the banjo twank, For Rose of Alabamy. Oh, arter d'rectly bye and bye, The moon rose white as Rosie's eye, Den like a young coon out so sly, Stole Rose of Alabamy. I said sit down just where you please. Upon my lap she took her ease. "It's good to go upon the knees," Said Rose of Alabamy. The river rose; the cricket sang, The lightnin' bug did flash his wing, Den like a rope my arms I fling, 'Round Rose of Alabamy. We hugged how long I cannot tell. My Rosie seemed to like it well. My banjo in the river fell. Oh Rose of Alabamy. Like alligator after prey, I jump in but it float away, And all the while it seem to say, "Oh Rose of Alabamy." Now every night come rain or shower, I hunt that banjo for an hour; And see my sweet tobacco flower, Oh Rose of Alabamy. Oh fare thee well you belles of Spain, And fare thee well to Liza Jane, Your charms will all be put to shame, By Rose of Alabamy
