Potato's In the Paddy Wagon

Come on boys, Potato's in the paddy wagon

Gotta get her outta there

Come on boys, Potato's in the paddy wagon

Mama says it just ain't fair

One night mama went to fetch us up a sweet potato

Fell down the cellar stairs

Stork dropped in while she was on the floor

So my sister was born down there

Daddy says this ain't will be nothin' but a misery

Never will be worth a damn

But mama just loved her little sweet Potato baby

With a face like a parboiled yam

Come on boys, Potato's in the paddy wagon

Gotta get her outta there

Come on boys, Potato's in the paddy wagon

Mama says it just ain't fair

Potato grew up to be as pretty as a peach

In her calico and honey yellow curls

Went to the apple cider ball at the armory

With all the other ripe and ready girls

Sheriff Dan Pike, picked Potato for the polka

But she spurned him with a fiddle de-dee

And before she could turn around and find another partner

Sheriff took her into custody

Come on boys, Potato's in the paddy wagon

Gotta get her outta there

Come on boys, Potato's in the paddy wagon

Mama says it just ain't fair

Mama 'n' daddy put together quite a little posse

Countin' me and Jack and cousin Will

We all hopped into the old Chevy pickup

And we caught â€~em at the top of the hill

Daddy took his Remington and shot away the lock

For to set his little darlin' free

But Potato said, ‽Daddy, shut the golden door

Sheriff wants to marry meâ€

Let's go boys, Potato's in the paddy wagon

Guess we better leave her there

Let's go boys, Potato's in the paddy wagon

Mama says it's more than fair

Let's go boys, Potato's in the paddy wagon

Guess we better leave her there

Let's go boys, Potato's in the paddy wagon

Mama says it's more than fair

Mama says it's more than fair

Mama says it's more than fair
