Lyrics: John Maher/Bob Houghton
Music: John Maher/Bob Houghton
Alabama dry your eyes you know
Selma has dried her tears
Tell me what was your battle cry
Not the bleeding of two hundred years
The Crimson tide runs so deep
Those pictures won’t leave my mind
Things inside at the all keep
And the things we just leave behind
So let me tell you now, some men are born of honor
Some men are bound in chains
Each one seeking his own freedom
But Magnolias all the same
I can tell you that
Each seeks his own freedoms
Magnolias
Magnolias
Magnolias
We’re just Magnolias all the same
There certainly was a lesson learned
Babies can’t share history’s blame
Walking from Auburn out to Mobile
Honor in both still remain
White marble can easily be broken
It cracks beneath our bleeding feet
When not a single word is ever spoken
Dark secrets are kept so discreet
Some men are born of honor
Some men are bound in chains
Each one seeking his own freedom
But Magnolias all the same
I can tell you that
Each one seeks his own freedom
Magnolias
Magnolias
We’re just Magnolias all the same
Magnolias
Magnolias
