Sweet Potato Pie Lyrics - We Got By - Al Jarreau

Now it was a hot sticky morning 

'Round the Fourth of July 

The breeze was standing still 

I'm hanging out by myself 

And I'm having a good time 

With the folk inside my head 

And you know, Lord, 

how you did a lovely thing 

See, times my head is lighter 

than it's ever been 

And anyone who's ever had 

sweet potato pie 

Don't want pumpkin again, 

no, they don't want

'Cause it don't taste right, no 

Look-a-here city boy with your 

silks and braided hair 

Don't you let nobody fool you 

with no imitation nothing 

Tell 'em, say, unh, unh, buddy, 

I been there 

Listen mama, when you 

finally walk on in 

Don't forget to bring along 

your sweet potato tin 

'Cause when you serve him 

a slice of your sweet potato

Sin, girl, he won't want pumpkin again, 

no, he won't want 

Now I took a trip down to Sissy's 

She's a friend of mine 

She smiled and asked me in 

Well, she drew a box and a big, 

fancy question mark 

Said, "Brother, which one is you in?" 

I told her, "Sister, don't worry 

'bout the mule going blind 

You just sit in the wagon and 

hold on to the line 

'Cause anyone who's ever had 

sweet potato pie 

Don't want pumpkin again, 

really don't want" 

Now I saw the gates 

gold and pearl 

And I sat right down 

in a dream of you, old friend 

I'm thinking some milk and 

honey and a pot of stew 

Might fill that gap again 

You know, I'm a thankful 

witness to the things I've seen 

And times my head is lighter 

than it's ever been 

And anyone who's ever had 

sweet potato pie 

Really don't want pumpkin again, 

no they won't want 

Would you give me some 

sweet potato y'all
