ALABAMA'S CREW

When the Alabama's crew was laid

Roll Alabama Roll

They were laid on the day that they got paid

Oh roll, Alabama Roll

They were laid in the town of Maidenhead

They were laid in the house of Madame Laird

At the Bull and Boar they downed their swill

At the Grey Mare they got drunker still

Down the cobbled streets they staggered forth

To Madame Laird's to prove their worth

Her girls lay waiting night and day

To collect their share of prize money

There many a sailor saw his doom

When he entered Miss Eliza's room

She challanged him to a roll and lay

The pride of the floored and the soused navy

It was then they found to their dismay

One shot too many took the urge away

At the three buckle limit in '64

The Alabama rose no more.
