1
Now it was a hot sticky morning
2
'Round the Fourth of July
3
The breeze was standing still
4
I'm hanging out by myself
5
And I'm having a good time
6
With the folk inside my head
7
And you know, Lord,
8
How you did a lovely thing
9
See, times my head is lighter
10
Than it's ever been
11
And anyone who's ever had
12
Sweet potato pie
13
Don't want pumpkin again,
14
No, they don't want
15
'Cause it don't taste right, no
16
Look-a-here city boy with your
17
Silks and braided hair
18
Don't you let nobody fool you
19
With no imitation nothing
20
Tell 'em, say, unh, unh, buddy,
21
I been there
22
Listen mama, when you
23
Finally walk on in
24
Don't forget to bring along
25
Your sweet potato tin
26
'Cause when you serve him
27
A slice of your sweet potato
28
Sin, girl, he won't want pumpkin again,
29
No, he won't want
30
Now I took a trip down to Sissy's
31
She's a friend of mine
32
She smiled and asked me in
33
Well, she drew a box and a big,
34
Fancy question mark
35
Said, "Brother, which one is you in?"
36
I told her, "Sister, don't worry
37
'bout the mule going blind
38
You just sit in the wagon and
39
Hold on to the line
40
'Cause anyone who's ever had
41
Sweet potato pie
42
Don't want pumpkin again,
43
Really don't want"
44
Now I saw the gates
45
Gold and pearl
46
And I sat right down
47
In a dream of you, old friend
48
I'm thinking some milk and
49
Honey and a pot of stew
50
Might fill that gap again
51
You know, I'm a thankful
52
Witness to the things I've seen
53
And times my head is lighter
54
Than it's ever been
55
And anyone who's ever had
56
Sweet potato pie
57
Really don't want pumpkin again,
58
No they won't want
59
Would you give me some
60
Sweet potato y'all
