Song of the South |
| 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 only get a rich man to vote like that singin' |
| song, song of the south |
| sweet potato pie and I’ll shut my mouth |
| gone, gone with the wind |
| aint nobody lookin' back again |
| i was 18 before i ate my bill |
| we lived on the garden and the cow’s good will |
| winter was wet, summer was dry |
| and momma she was old at 35 |
| well somebody told us that wall street fell |
| so damn poor we couldnt even tell |
| cotton was short and the weeds were tall |
| but Mr. Roosevelt was gonna save us all |
| well mama got sick and daddy got down |
| the county got the farm and we moved to town |
| daddy took a job with the TVA |
| we bought a washing machine and a new chevrolet |
| singin' |
