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