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