Dee White - Rose Of Alabam lyrics

It's a good thing there's a canopy up over my bed So lightnin' from above can't see to strike me dead I crave it like a hummin' bird Then I'm wanted like a dove Cause forbidden fruit tastes sweetest When it comes to skies that love The pedals of my daisy hit the floor one by one Her roots are bound in Georgia ground But somethin's blocking out her sun The stalk don't grow to heaven And the leaves left me behind I've fallen for a flower in a garden west of mine My rose of Alabam My rose of Alabam I should give that southern bell a ring But nature's took her toe I placed rosie's thorn in my own sack Just to fill an empty hole I love the land she stems from And the seed from which she grows So I gave up on my daisy for the fragrance of a rose The pedals of my daisy hit the floor one by one Her roots are bound in Georgia ground But somethin's blocking out her sun The stalk don't grow to heaven And the leaves left me behind I've fallen for a flower in a garden west of mine My rose of Alabam My rose of Alabam
