Lyrics
[Chorus]
Song, song of the South
Sweet potato pie and I shut my mouth
Gone, gone with the wind
There ain't nobody looking back again
[Verse 1]
Cotton on the roadside, cotton in the ditch
We all picked the cotton but we never got rich
Daddy was a veteran, a Southern Democrat
They oughta get a rich man to vote like that
[PreChorus]
Sing it
[Chorus]
Song, song of the South
Sweet potato pie and I shut my mouth
Gone, gone with the wind
There ain't nobody looking back again
[Verse 2]
Well, somebody told us Wall Street fell
But we were so poor that we couldn't tell
Cotton was short and the weeds were tall
But Mr. Roosevelt's gonna save us all
[Verse 3]
Well momma got sick and daddy got down
The county got the farm and they moved to town
Papa got a job with the TVA
He bought a washing machine and then a Chevrolet
[PreChorus]
Sing it
[Chorus]
Song, song of the South
Sweet potato pie and I shut my mouth
Gone, gone with the wind
There ain't nobody looking back again
[PreChorus]
Play it
[PreChorus]
Sing it
[Chorus]
Song, song of the South
Sweet potato pie and I shut my mouth
Gone, gone with the wind
There ain't nobody looking back again
[Chorus]
Song, song of the South
Gone, gone with the wind
[Chorus]
Song, song of the South
Sweet potato pie and I shut my mouth
Song, song of the South
Sweet potato pie and I shut my mouth
[PreChorus]
Sing it
[Chorus]
Song, song of the South
Sweet potato pie and I shut my mouth
Gone, gone with the wind
There ain't nobody looking back again
[Chorus]
Song, song of the South
Sweet potato pie and I shut my mouth
Gone, gone with the wind
There ain't nobody looking back again
