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 
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
