Song of the South
(Bob McDill)
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 Said they oughta kill a rich man to vote like that.
Sing a song, song of the south Sweet potato pie and shut my mouth Gone, gone with the wind Ain't nobody looking back again.
Well, I was eighteen fore I ate my fill We lied on the garden and the cow's good will Winter was wet and the summer was dry And mama she was old at thirty-five.
Somebody told us Wall Street fell So damn poor we couldn't even tell Cotton was short and the weeds were tall Mr. Roosevelt's gonna save us all.
Sing a song, song of the south Sweet potato pie and shut my mouth Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Gone, gone with the wind Ain't nobody looking back again.
Mama got sick and daddy got down County got the farm and they moved to town Daddy took a job with the TVA Bought a washin' machine and a Chevrolet.
Sing a song, song of the south Sweet potato pie and shut my mouth Gone, gone with the wind Ain't nobody looking back again.
Sing a song, song of the south Sweet potato pie and shut my mouth Gone, gone with the wind Ain't nobody looking back again.
Sing a song, song of the south Sweet potato pie and shut my mouth Gone, gone with the wind Ain't nobody looking back again...
