D                       G                           
 One night mama went to fetch us up a sweet potato, 
A                     D
 Fell down the cellar stairs,
D                       G                           
 Stork dropped in while she was on the floor, 
      A                    D
So my sister was born down there.

 Daddy says this'n will be nothin' but a misery, 
G              D       A
 Never will be worth a damn,
D                               G                         
 But mama just loved her little sweet potato baby, 
       A                     D
With a face like a parboiled yam.

 Potato grew up to be as pretty as a peach, 
       A                       D
In her calico and honey yellow curls,
D                        G                       
 Went to the apple cider ball at the arm'ry 
     A                            D
With all the other ripe and ready girls.

 Sheriff Dan Pike, picked Po-tato for the polka, 
        G                  D         A
But she spurned him with a fiddle de-dee,

And be-fore she could turn around and find another partner, 
        A                   D
Sheriff took her into custo-dy.

 Mama'n' daddy put together quite a little posse 
         A                      D
Countin' me and Jack and cousin Will,
   D                   G                       
We all hopped into the old Chevy pickup 
       A                            D 
And we caught 'em at the top of the hill,

 Daddy took his Remington and shot away the lock, 
       G                      A
For to set his little darlin' free,

 Sheriff wants to marry me!"
