Lyric Sweet Potato Blues (1927)

Old uncle Josh, he lives down on the farm.
He raise sweet potatoes and cotton and corn.
He said by gosh, I ain t goin ta give you none.

I got a sweet potato head is steaming hot.
Before I give it away I m goin ta let it rot.
I got sweet potatoes, I ain t goin ta give you none.

Old aunt Jane gotta sweet potato in her hand.
If you want good potatoes bake it in my pan.
I got sweet potatoes, I ain t goin ta give you none.

Keep up your stove, head is burnin low.
I m goin ta show you something mama, you never seen before.
I got sweet potatoes, ain t goin ta give you none.

I ain t goin ta give you none of my bakin I ain t got enough.
If you want to get my sweet potatoes you got to buy my stuff.
Cause I got sweet potatoes, and I ain t goin ta give you none.
