Alabama
is
among
the
old
Amercan
tunes,
composed
in
the
early
part
of
the
19th
Century.
It
has
been
in
the
"Sacred
Harp"
of
White
and
King
from
1844
to
1869,
and
in
the
"Southern
Harmony"
1835
and
1848,
page
116.
"Social
Harp,"
by
John
G.
McCurry,
1855,
page
176,
and
many
of
the
earlier
books
than
this.
The
words
have
been
arranged
under
all
of
the
parts,
so
each
can
join
in
as
they
come
in.
There
are
some minor
runs
in
this
tune
not
in
any
other
in
this
book.
We
have
been
unable
to
get
any
data
about
who
is
the
author
of
the
music
or
words
of
Alabama.
Corrections
