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.
