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