SONG OF THE SOUTH
As recorded by ERNEST, Rhys Rutherford, Cody Lohden & Chandler Walters

(2025 release)

[Intro]
A E D A E D

[Chorus]
A E
Song, song of the south
D E
Sweet potato pie and I shut my mouth
A E
Gone, gone with the wind
D A
There ain't nobody lookin' back again

[Verse 1]
E
Cotton on the roadside, cotton in a ditch
D A
We all picked the cotton, but we never got rich
E
Daddy was a veteran, a Southern Democrat
D A
They ought to get a rich man to vote like that
A
Sing it

[Chorus]
A E
Song, song of the south
D
Sweet potato pie and I shut my mouth
A E
Gone, gone with the wind
D A E D A E D A
There ain't nobody lookin' back again

[Verse 2]
E
Well, somebody told us Wall Street fell
D A
But we were so poor that we couldn't tell
E
Cotton was short and the weeds were tall
D
But Mr. Roosevelt's a-gonna save us all

[Verse 3]
A E
Well, Mama got sick and Daddy got down
D A
The county got the farm and we moved to town
