Song of the South!
In the past year I’ve become obsessed with Alabama’s Song of the South. When I moved to New York Tarlie introduced me to the song (how I spent the first 20+ years of my life without it is beyond me), and I always request it at this “karaoke” bar that we go to. In any case, I just read one of Tarlie’s posts and she says it’s one of Lucas’ favorites!! No wonder I love it! I’m going to think of him every time I hear it, and I’m going to make it my “motivate before I go out” tune from here on out. Here’s to you Lucas…we love you!
Song, song of the south
Sweet potato pie and I shut my mouth
Gone, gone with the wind
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
Sing it…
Song, song of the south
Sweet potato pie and I shut my mouth
Gone, gone with the wind
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
Sing it…
Song, song of the south
Sweet potato pie and I shut my mouth
Gone, gone with the wind
There ain’t nobody looking back again
Play it…
Sing it…
Song, song of the south
Sweet potato pie and I shut my mouth
Gone, gone with the wind
There ain’t nobody looking back again
Song, song of the south…
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
There ain’t nobody looking back again
Song, song of the south
Sweet potato pie and I shut my mouth
Gone, gone with the wind
There ain’t nobody looking back again

That’s so funny because I found an old note from high school that Lucas had written me and he would always write the lyrics to songs and I would try to guess the song…Anyways, Song of the South was one of the songs…I definitely credit Lucas for introducing me to cool music.
