Hail Alabama
Hail, Alabama State University
How we love your name.
Your spacious halls respond with knowledge
Deeds extol your fame.
Hurrah, hurrah for the Black and Gold!
Hurrah, hurrah for heroes bold!
Dear Alma Mater, we adore you,
In one loud acclaim.(Chorus)
Alabama! Alabama!
Hail, hail, hail, hail college so dear

All hail the men who fight on the field
All hail your glory that can’t be repealed;
So hail, hail, hail Alabama!

In the breeze, on the air,

Alabama State Alma Mater
Alabama State, O Mother Dear
Again we come to thee
Our pains and sorrows we forget
When e’er thy face we see
O happy harbor, blessed place
O sweet and pleasant soil
In thee we hope, in thee we trust
For thee we pray and toil.Thy Sons and Daughters love thy halls
Aglow with truth and light
And every heart beats true to thee
In whom there is no night
O Alma Mater, fair and dear
We proudly hail thy name
Which far and near is known and loved
And crowned with glowing fame.Thy campus flowers and shady walks
Bring thoughts of Marion Green
Before thy trials in Beulah Vale
Which God from us did screen
But now we stand on College Heights
Content with God’s decree
For all He does is right and good
And makes for liberty.
