Sweet potato pie and I shut my mouth
There ain't nobody looking 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 oughta get a rich man to vote like that
Sweet potato pie and I shut my mouth
There ain't nobody looking 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
Pappa got a job with the TVA
He bought a washing machine and then a Chevrolet
Sweet potato pie and I shut my mouth
There ain't nobody looking back again
Sweet potato pie and I shut my mouth
There ain't nobody looking back again
Sweet potato pie and I shut my mouth
Sweet potato pie and I shut my mouth
Sweet potato pie and I shut my mouth
There ain't nobody looking back again
Sweet potato pie and I shut my mouth
There ain't nobody looking back again
