TUNE-Original.

I come from Alabama,

My name is Samuel,
The white folks call me Sam,

And that suits me quite as well.
'Most everything I spy

Though I look so jolly green,
To take me in is all my eye,

For you'll find I'm ' all serene."

CHORUS.

Oh, such a genius you never did see,

North, East, South, or West, there's none comes up

to me,

I'm a modern nonpareil, the white folks say I am,
the pride of all creation is Alabama Sam.

I came over to England

My fortune for to make,
By golly it nearly broke their hearts,

The fair ones to forsake.
Among them all I was first chap,

A regular darkey swell,
A taxation nigger I was called

By every yaller belle.

HOW I came to England,

I cross'd the Atlantic waves,
For in North or South there is no home.,

For us poor negro slaves.
John Bull with open heart and hand,

Greets brothers white or black,
So in freedom's land I'll take my stand,

For they'll never get me back.
