[Chorus]
A E
Song, song of the South,
D
Sweet potato pie and I shut my mouth.
A E
Gone, gone with the wind,
D
Ain't nobody lookin' back again.
[Verse 1]
A E
Cotton on the roadside, cotton in the ditch,
D
we all picked cotton but we never got rich.
A E
Daddy was a veteran, a southern democrat,
D
they oughta get a rich man to vote like that...... (singin')
[Chorus]
A E
Song, song of the South,
D
Sweet potato pie and shut my mouth.
A E
Gone, gone with the wind,
D
Ain't nobody lookin' back again.
[Bridge]
A E
Well, somebody told us that Wall Street fell,
D
but we were so poor that we couldn't tell.
A E
Cotton was short and the weeds were tall,
D
but Mr. Roosevelt was gonna save us all.
[Verse 3]
A E
Well, momma got sick and daddy got down,
D
the county got the farm and we moved to town.
A E
Papa got a job with the TVA,
D
he bought a washing machine and then a Chevrolet.
[Chorus]
A E
Song, song of the South,
D
Sweet potato pie and shut my mouth.
A E
Gone, gone with the wind,
D
Ain't nobody lookin' back again.
