ROSE OF ALABAMA
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 авг 2023
- Published in 1846, by G.P. Reed of Boston, and is credited as follows on the original sheet music: “Words by S.S. Steele, sung by A.F. Winnemore & His Band of Serenaders.” The song became popular among the thousands of fortune-hunters heading to California looking to strike it rich during the 1849 Gold Rush.
“The Rose of Alabama” lyrics tell a light, good humored tale about a banjo-playing young black man, who sneaks away on a moonlit night from the slave quarters on his plantation to court his sweetheart, Rosie (the “Rose” of the song), an enslaved young black girl on her plantation across the river. Everything is going ‘swimmingly’ until suddenly his banjo falls in the river! From that point on, the song seems to be more about a lost banjo than a lost love.

First the silver ran out, then the people ran out, then whiskey, and then the beer.
Well mr. carpetbagger, we got something in this territory... called the Missourah boat ride
My Great, Great Grandfather was born in Alabama. He was in the siege of Vicksburg and raised up in a trench and was shot in the head by a sniper. He is buried in Meridian, Mississippi. From what I could tell, the only thing brought back was his homemade buckskin pouch to hold his bullets which I do have in my possession. Thank you for singing this.
Sure. Pics or it never happened
What happened to the town of Meridian and many other towns and cities across the south was vile.
Well Mr. Carpetbagger, we got a thing 'round here called the Missouri Boat ride
Buzzards gotta eat same as the worms. [>
Best band ever.
The outlaw Jose well's were I fst heard this.. loved every since . thanks 😊👍👏
My dad, who passed away in 2017 was born in Alabama. He played the banjo and would have loved this! His Great Grandfather, Allen Haley Taylor was in the 4th Alabama Cavalry and he lived to be 96 years old.
Great song. I expected to see Josie Wales on the scene at any second. But it's great you keep the old songs alive. Thank you.
Always good seeing a new upload!
Love you fellas. From Australia. My Ancestor Lewis morris is the only confederate soldier buried in Australia. (Newcastle cemetery). His grandfather signed the Declaration of Independence. (Also Lewis Morris). Gouverneur Morris (half brother) also signed.

We weren't fighting for the Masters slaves. We fought for our Rights, Home, and Families.
Amen.
Amen, god bless the south
Sweet Home Alabama....rip ronnie and co
Thank you all for blessing us with this historic awesome music!
Greeting from Spain! I recently became very interested in civil war history, specially the southern perspective, and was amused by the cuality of the songs, which were totally new to me.
I also recently watched "The outlaw Josey Wales" and this song is featured in the film. All in all, great interpretation of the song, it's a pleasure to hear.
Best band in the world
Hello from Alabama .
20 EARLYBIRDS ! THANKS !!!
Brazil ❤
Y’all are the best. I appreciate your work
It would be so amazing to have the 2nd SC play at the South Carolina Division Reunion next year for the SCV
It sure would !!! Sadly, more than a day late and probably a bit more than a dollar short (to paraphrase the old saying). We retired at the end of 2019, having DIS-banded at the end of 2019, due to aging-out mostly. Most of us started together in 1989, when we were already in our mid-40's. The 'annoyances' of aging, PC/Cancel Culture and in late 2019, the restrictions of Covid all combined in a sort of perfect storm that made it clear the time had come for us to 'drop the mic’ and leave the stage... We did play once at Secessionville/Boone Hall in 2002, I believe. My brother Fred and I share a Confederate ancestor - J.D. Banks, 7th Tenn Cavalry - and so for many years tried to attract some attention from the SCV in hopes of playing for just such an event. We'd have loved it ! Truly sorry to disappoint, but for us, 'the ball is over'. Let me know if I can help with finding someone else.
@@2ndSouthCarolinaStringBand Well darn. If I was higher up in the SCV and had joined it sooner, I definitely would've attempted to have y'all involved. But I hope you all are enjoying your retirement, so many people including me love the music that y'all have played, and well over half of the ones I know about come from here. If it wasn't for y'all, I probably wouldn't have ever listened to this quality music, and I don't think I would've even been interested to find out about my ancestors and end up joining the SCV... Its crazy how simply just music can change someone's life. It's sad that today is filled with so much cancel culture and just about everything is considered "Offensive", even just the simple teaching of history... But thank you all for the amazing quality music that you have played. God Bless.
@@2ndSouthCarolinaStringBand Oh my god that is so sad to hear, I was just thinking how cool it would be to see you guys live if I ever manage to head back east for a big reenactment, like I plan to someday. I Guess my dream will never be realized ! But either way thank you guys so much for helping to preserve these songs, they are a very important part of our history, and are able to evoke so much emotion and bring such a vivid connection to the men who could have sang these same songs over a hundred years ago.

And when the world needed them most, they returned.
Hahahahahahaha..... You are TOO kind !
Gents, A resounding thank you from the UK. A fantastic rendition. More please! Bob
I reckon they would do really well playing here in the UK
@@saxon.ad410 Hi. Regrettably they have retired and are not performing any more live music. Such a shame!
@@1089maul Amen to that !!! Don't get OLD !
Stay tuned. More on the way !
Sounds great, as always
I found a Japanese cover of this song and decided to check out the English versions. Can't say I'm disappointed, the South has some really good songs, and y'all covered them really well. I'm grateful that I found your band.
Hello, I always love to hear from you. Greetings from the Czech Republic, i.e. Europe

Hello from Alabamey! Just want to tell y'all your music is beautiful, what a perfect time capsule of Southern culture. Actually inspired me to start learning to play the fiddle here in my 30s! Hope to catch y'all live some day!
EDIT: well I just read that the group disbanded. Sorry to hear but I understand in today's climate and none of us are getting younger! Maybe I can do my part to keep this music tradition alive once I can do more than squawk on the fiddle haha
American Civil War music has to be the best music, love from Washington (the state not the yankee capital)
Greetings from Ufa, Russia! Thank you for your music, thats really awersome. Thank you for pleasing with your creativity, you are cool

Ha sido mi canción favorita de los benditos estados del Sur de la Confederación.
Más que la rosa amarilla de Texas.

Many, many thanks, Amadis !!!
Thank you for this!
Great work guy! I learned this tune about a year ago on the fiddle. It's one of my favorites.
First time I heard this was outlaw Jose wales
...we've heard it said...
Thank you for uploading this, I really appreciate it.
never heard this... really like it!!!
Once again, a beautiful video. In what a wonderful way the world works - I just “picked up” this tune today on de ole banjo. Of course, my own “bastardized” version. Not nearly as good - but doable so I can sing along.
As always. Remarkable work Pards.
HISTORY BOY !!! Long time, no hear ! Thanks for the kind word - again ! Next up - 'Soldier's Joy' from 1999 - Rebels in the woods ! With BANJOS !! Save yourselves !!!
Long live the 2nd SCSB, greetings from the Old Line State my boys. 🤠
Sweet home alabama,
👌👌👌
Another fine song. Cheers lads :D
Love this. As a frstrated clawhammer player, all great traditional banjo playing ranks high on my list. All the trad. instruments do as well.
I say, all that big talks worth doodlie squat!
A golf cart in the background! Great video!
Huzzah !
Man where i can i find these wonderful bluegrass gatherins?
These aren't actually bluegrass. Bluegrass is named after Earl Scruggs band, The Blue Grass Boys, started by Bill Monroe I think. Bluegrass music is often characterized by scruggs style banjo playing, with quick rolls of 3 fingers on the banjo.
The fellow here is playing a minstrel banjo in old time/clawhammer style. I know less about the others, but I believe this would all still be old time or traditional music, rather than bluegrass.
Not correcting you, just suggesting search terms if you're trying to find more, or find concerts or events in your city.
Not bluegrass it's a civil war band
Nosey wakes
Wasn't this song featured in the movie "Cold Mountain?"
They also make an appearance in "God's and Generals"
...buzzards gotta eat...same as worms...
Some people listen to Cardi B and Taylor swift... I Listen to The 2nd South Carolina String Band!

Guess it's considered unwoke not to display the Battle Flag. :-( Nice music though.
Not sure what point you're trying to make here. Fact is, the tin-type image above was made at the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Manassas (aka Bull Run, as I'm sure you know), so the 'battleflag' was eight months away from being distributed to troops of what would eventually become (under Marse Robert) the Army of Northern Virginia. So, I guess 'not displaying the Battle Flag' here is not only 'not unwoke', but not inauthentic. Just sayin'... PS ~ Thanks for the kind word, btw !
So this song is abou munk.. Es? Omg
No
First liking, then watching
