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