Song Of The South - Alabama
|[Chorus]
|[G]Song, [D]song of the South,
|[C]Sweet potato pie and I shut my mouth.
|[G]Gone, [D]gone with the wind,
|[C]Ain't nobody lookin' back again.
[Verse 1]
[G]Cotton on the roadside, [D]cotton in the ditch,
we [C]all picked cotton but we never got rich.
[G]Daddy was a veteran, a [D]southern democrat,
[C]they oughta get a rich man to vote like that...... (singin')
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[G]Well, somebody told us [D]that Wall Street fell,
but [C]we were so poor that we couldn't tell.
[G]Cotton was short and the [D]weeds were tall,
but Mr. [C]Roosevelt was gonna save us all.
[Verse 3]
Well, [G]momma got sick and [D]daddy got down,
the [C]county got the farm and we moved to town.
[G]Papa got a job with the [D]TVA,
he bought a [C]washing machine and then a Chevrolet.
|[Chorus]
|[G]Song, [D]song of the South,
|[C]Sweet potato pie and shut my mouth.
|[G]Gone, [D]gone with the wind,
|[C]Ain't nobody lookin' back again.
