Song of the South - Alabama Songtext
von Alabama

Song, song of the south
Sweet potato pie and I shut my mouth
Gone, gone with the wind
There ain′t nobody lookin' 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 ought to get a rich man to vote like that

Sing it
Song, song of the south
Sweet potato pie and I shut my mouth
Gone, gone with the wind
There ain′t nobody lookin' 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, Mama got sick and Daddy got down
The county got the farm and we moved to town
Papa got a job with the TVA
He bought a washin′ machine and then a Chevrolet

Sing it
Song, song of the south
Sweet potato pie and I shut my mouth
Gone, gone with the wind
There ain't nobody lookin′ back again

Play it

Sing it
Song, song of the south
Sweet potato pie and I shut my mouth
(Gone) gone, gone with the wind
There ain't nobody lookin′ back again

Song, song of the south
(Gone) gone, gone with the wind
Song, song of the south
Sweet potato pie and I shut my mouth

Song, song of the south
Sweet potato pie and I shut my mouth


Sing it
Song, song of the south
Sweet potato pie and I shut my mouth
Gone, gone with the wind
Ain't nobody lookin′ back again

Song, song of the south
Sweet potato pie and I shut my mouth
Gone, gone with the wind
Ain't nobody lookin' back again

Song, song of the south
Sweet potato pie and I shut my mouth
