Song of the South Songtext
von Alabama

Song, song of the south
Sweet potato pie and I shut my mouth
Gone, gone with the wind
There ain′t nobody lookin' back again
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 ought to get a rich man to vote like that
Sing it
Song, song of the south
Sweet potato pie and I shut my mouth
Gone, gone with the wind
There ain′t nobody lookin' back again


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 a gonna save us all
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 washin′ machine and then a Chevrolet
Sing it
Song, song of the south
Sweet potato pie and I shut my mouth
Gone, gone with the wind
There ain't nobody lookin′ back again
Play it

Sing it
Song, song of the south
Sweet potato pie and I shut my mouth
Gone, gone with the wind
There ain't nobody lookin′ back again
Song, song of the south
Gone, gone with the wind
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
Sing it


Song, song of the south
Sweet potato pie and I shut my mouth
Gone, gone with the wind
Ain't nobody lookin′ back again
Song, song of the south
Sweet potato pie and I shut my mouth
Gone, gone with the wind
Ain't nobody lookin' back again
Song, song of the south
Sweet potato pie and I shut my mouth
