Alabama Crimson Tide Versus the Tennessee Volunteers - a Poem

Langley Cornwell
Alabama versus Tennessee
A football rivalry
Both teams played tough
They showed their stuff
For all the world to see

Alabama versus Tennessee
A football rivalry
We had to go
See the big show
Sat right up close, row 3

Alabama versus Tennessee
A football rivalry
Saban was strong
The whole game long
Pacing in front of me

Alabama versus Tennessee
A football rivalry
The phrase, 'roll tide'
Rang far and wide
Our tickets sure weren't free

Alabama versus Tennessee
A football rivalry
The game was loud
Such a big crowd
And we were on TV

Alabama versus Tennessee
A football rivalry
Vols wore their white
Fought a good fight
Coach Kiff amuses me

Alabama versus Tennessee
A football rivalry
Offense was weak
Almost looked meek
Tiffin was the story

Alabama versus Tennessee
A football rivalry
The game was tense,
Was all defense
Congrats to 'Mount Cody'

Alabama versus Tennessee
A football rivalry
He jumped up high
Reached for the sky
The play made history

Alabama versus Tennessee
A football rivalry
Ole Rocky Top
They felt the block
Tide's 12-10 victory

Alabama versus Tennessee
A football rivalry
Now Coach Bryant
Legend, giant
Smiles from eternity
