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