 One night mama went to fetch us up a sweet potato;

 Fell down the cellar stairs.

 D                         G

With a face like a parboiled yam.

In her calico and honey yellow curls.

 D                                             
 Went to he apple cider ball at the arm'ry,

With all the other ripe and ready girls.

But she spurned him with a fiddle de-dee.

        D                             
And be-fore she could turn around,

 Mama 'n' daddy put together quite a little posse,

          A                        D       
Countin' me and Jack and cousin Will.

We all hopped into the old Chevy pick-up,

For to set his little darlin' free.

 A                         D           
 Sheriff wants to marry me!"
