The Alabama visited Simon's Town in South Africa during the Civil War and inspired the song Daar kom die Alibama. Well known to many Cape Towners. Two great songs inspired by the same ship ain't bad going.
No kidding. Great song. I didn't realize until now that the same ship had actually inspired no less than *two* good/great songs. Thank you for mentioning that. Information much appreciated. ^___^
Oh wow - just seen me in the audience! The live concert sequences were filmed in Norwich. Absolutely joyful evening.
Never seen a live band who seem to love playing as much as these guys do.
Nicest people I've worked with in my time in theaters and great memories, especially setting up the pyros for the last gig i did with these guys in Brecon, , fun times
I visited the museam of the battleship USS Alabama. Tucked away inside the museam is a memorial to the CSS Alabama.
Listened to this on Radio 2 this morning on the way to work. Awesome!!!
Yay.... Booked my tickets for November, Portsmouth Guildhall 2024. Cant wait !! Hope they cover Gosport Nancy, for us girls, over the water !!!!
Liverpool Philharmonic Hall - 24th April - can't wait.
"She sank to the bottom of the ocean floor."
See, I said it was sad.
Such a happy song though.
Nice work as always, Bellowhead. ^___^
so glad I got to see them a few years ago at the Shrewsbury flower show!
This song cheers me up even though what happens in it is actually sort of sad.
Good music. Good playing. Good singing. Good dancing/jumping/etc. Wish I could do that, but since I can't, I'll just enjoy watching and hearing them. ^_____^
I've heard others do this song, but this version is utterly amazing. Bellowhead is one of the best bands ever.
Nice historical song, thank you
This is crazy! A modern band preforming a traditional Confederate song from the American Civil War! This is about a ship that was manufactured in England and outfitted in England, but used by the Confederate States of America to terrorize Union shipping. Very cool version!
Waging war on an opponent's merchant vessels has been a practice for hundreds, if not thousands, of years. Additionally, the CSN knew from Day One that a toe-to-toe engagement with the USN was fighting outside of their "weight-class." The object of the CSN was to wage asymmetric warfare & they completely succeeded.
Not a common traditional Confederate Civil War song…
@@kristoffershafer8798 so is singing this song an indirect support of slavery? Genuine question.
@@codswallop321 nope. I am very confident it was an English Sea Shanty. As someone who grew up learning about both sides in the civil war and learning folk music, I never heard it until Bellowhead two years ago.
And seeing how most nations had a participation in the Slave Trade, even African nations selling enemy tribes into slavery, you can't isolate on nation.
@@codswallop321 You gotta be joking. Singing Dixie and bonnie blue flag isn't supporting slavery let alone this one
Heard it today on Moorlands Radio Staffordshire. Brilliant!
Thanks for the imfo Daniel. Bellowhead are in Sheffield tonight, and Im gutted I wont be able to see them. They are amazing. So sad they are breaking up.
This song is amazing
More Bellowhead brilliance. Can't wait to see this live in Oxford! Awesome stuff lads.
Oxford Alabama?
Another great song involving my city Liverpool
Miss these guys. Soooo good live.
Me too.
Only song that mentions my hometown 💪🏻😂
4:19 BEST PART, means I get to restart the song and listen again
You had us in the first half, not gonna lie
Sensational piece of music.
Amazing song. Amazing ship. Roll on, Alabama!
Hear, hear. Lovely. 😍
It's a good song but I wouldn't call a raiding ship built for group that existed to preserve slavery 'amazing'.
@@DentedPentax The purpose of the song is irrelevant, in my opinion. It's either a catchy tube, or it isn't. Regardless, I don't know what you mean by, "a group that existed to preserve slavery." This song is about the CSS Alabama, not the Barbary Corsairs.
@@dextercochran4916 The song is good, but I'm saying the CSS Alabama fought for the rebels. Rebels which were fighting against the United States to preserve slavery. I love this song, I just hate the purpose of the ship it is about.
Will be watching them live for the last time in Nottingham a week tomorrow
This song makes you want to jump up and down and dance. Bellowhead made you want to do that.
How did I just find out about this band? WOW. I love brass, folk, and shanties, and you guys do all three--and with such style! I'm definitely subscribing...
Smashing tune well done zx
this music is awesome thx 4 upload^^
How does Rachel look so elegant and yet so mischievous in everything she does?
Obviously not complaining :)
When the Alabama's keel was laid
Roll Alabama roll
She was laid in the yard of Johnathan Laird
Oh roll Alabama roll
She was laid in the yard of Johnathan Laird
Roll Alabama roll
She was laid in the town of Birkenhead
Oh roll Alabama roll
Roll Alabama roll
She was laid in the town of Birkenhead
Oh roll Alabama roll
Down Mersey channel she sailed then
Roll Alabama roll
And Liverpool gave her guns and men
Oh roll Alabama roll
Out of Mersey channel she set forth
Roll Alabama roll
To destroy the commerce of the north
Oh roll Alabama roll
Roll Alabama roll
To destroy the commerce of the north
Oh roll Alabama roll
Into Cherbourg harbour she sailed one day
Roll Alabama roll
To collect her share of the prize money
Oh roll Alabama roll
And many a sailor met his doom
Roll Alabama roll
When the Yankee ship hauled into view
Oh roll Alabama roll
Roll Alabama roll
When the Yankee ship hauled into view
Oh roll Alabama roll
A shot from the forward pivot that day
Roll Alabama roll
Blew the Alabama's shearing gear away
Oh roll Alabama roll
Of the three mile limit in sixty four
Roll Alabama roll
She sank to the bottom of the ocean floor
Oh roll Alabama roll
Roll Alabama roll
She sank to the bottom of the ocean floor
Oh roll Alabama roll
Oh roll Alabama roll
Oh roll Alabama roll
Super 👍 Aż ciarki po plecach przechodzą. Ten utwór ma klimat🙂 Czuć wiatr na twarzy i zapach prochu🙂 Chwała CSS Alabama 👍🙂
A great song with a happy ending.
Most successful raider of all time.
So much so that the US merchant marine never really recovered properly until WW2.
You traitors take pride in this? Im only glad your ancestors were starved by the Union blockade.
@@williameaton9058 Yankees get jealous pretty easily.
olemissfuture real jealous they do
William Eaton go back to hell demon boy. You’re irrelevant and always have been. The south is again the dominant force of the USA.
Please make this available again.
this piece i love. Not like, but love.
Incredible song and amazingly complicated time signatures. Has anyone heard them talking about how they wrote this or seen it written out?
When are you coming to Brooklyn?
They know this song they built the Alabama
My mum's in this
Lol
Found them too late damn no new music
RIP Paul Sartin
Be Jaysus, boys and girls - mind ya don't a rock, and roll ! Slance..
Is that a 101 Damnations - Carter USM T-shirt he is wearing at 1m07s?
Roll Tide Roll
Karl Doenitz and Karma said 'Hello'.
Karl doenitz was a WWII kreigsmarine U-boat capitan, the CSS Alabama was a confederate warship.. the lives of the 2 never overlapped
Well eventually she rolled over from the Kearsarge so there’s that
Id love to make a animated music video for this! Please tell me if thats possible.
Feel free...!
Could someone tell me if there is a farewell DVD coming out please?.
+Sue Bowden They recorded the De Montfort Hall gig so I`d assume so.
I so want to open with my magic show for you folks.
To destroy the commerce of the north!
Roll Alabama Roll!

Jasper Tickler 65 union ships were burned and sent to the bottom of waters...so yes lol all you want

I like sam sweeney
fantastic! the CSS Alabama & CSS Shenandoah sank over a hundred US Yankee whaling ships, saving how many whales!!! The Alabama put a great 18" shell into the Kearsarge's ass end, but the shell failed, waterlogged.
God Bless Dixie.
The very last Confederate Flag was lowered on The Mersey
when CSS Shenandoah surrendered to The Royal Navy's H.M.S Donegal. 9th November
1865. Forty eight blockade runners built on the Mersey to break that Yankee blockade
of The South. As well as such ships as CSS Denbigh which ran aground off Galveston
at night and was destroyed by Union artillery when dawn came. My Home town of
Liverpool was a Confederate city at that time, unlike now when its status as a 'city of reds'
is not from merely a reference to its prominent football connection.
Unreconstructed Confederate supporter.
Sam Fondren pot and goebbels were beasts and should be considered as the worst of humanity.
@@JesusChristISTHEONETRUEGOD : Not really sure how your reply has any bearing on my historical comment about the Shenandoah.
Hang on a minute there, lad. There are plenty of Blues in Liverpool too.
@@rowaddyvash I know there are; I even have relatives who are participants in supporting them. Often very disappointed, but that's only on the football interest side.
Thanks for replying.
soyyyyyyyyy
Muto zica
Que bosta
“The Alabama’s gone, hurrah, to Davy Jones’s locker far, There’s nothing left of her to mar our commerce on the sea!”
Except for some people on reddit. "Roll Alabama Roll!"
the Caliphate isn't going to allow that music bub....
Raise your Battle Flags Confederates.
Never conceal it.
Never take it down in shame.
You come from proud men fighting for freedom not slavery.
Roll Alabama Roll.
A great Confederate ship.
A great legacy of great men.
not a fan its style sounds too much like modern christian music lol i prefer the origional
you added instruments and ruined the rythmn of the original song, this would not work as a sea shantie which was the intention of the song. you should be ashamed
To each his own. Bellowhead gave a new generation a voice.
I have listened to this song since I first heard it on the British Broadcasting Corporation in 1961 at a centenary of the outbreak of the War. I have heard it in several versions and find both vocal and instrument versions fine. It is my opinion, it is a ballad and not a sea chantey (we have many of these in Liverpool) . The Chanteys are working songs for keeping time in repetitious shipboard work, such as Halyard and hauling up anchors. I don't find the timing of this fits.
Oh shut up, songs can change genre depending on who covers them. The sea shanty versions still exist. This simply works better in concert
Prude
Worst version ever
