A Mighty Wind - Potatos In The Paddywagon

--------------------------------...........................

[D] 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.

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

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

[D] 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.

[G]  [Em]  [D]

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

[A] Sheriff Dan Pike picked Po-[D]tato for the polka,
But she [G]spurned him with a [D]fiddle de-[A]dee.
And be-[D]fore she could turn around,
And [G]find another partner; Sheriff [A]took her into custo-[D]dy.

[D] 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.

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

[A] Daddy took his Remington and [D]shot away the lock,
For to [G]set his little darlin' [A]free.
But Po-[D]tato said: "[N.C.]Daddy, shut the gol-dern door;
[A] Sheriff wants to marry [D]me!"

[D] 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 just ain't fair.

[D] 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;

[G] Mama says it's [A]more than [D]fair,
[G] Mama says it's [A]more...than [D]fair! [A]    [D]
