Carrie Higgins - Sweet Potato Pie Lyrics
Spin in the air and fall on the groundWhen the moon turn yellow and the hoot owl flyGrandma make my sweet potato pieChorus:Oh my, Sweet Potato PieOh my, Sweet Potato PieButter and eggs, check the recipe twiceA whole lot of sugar and a little bit of spiceStick in a finger, give it a tryMake sure it tastes like sweet potato pieChorusNow grandma say “you don’t need a thing,‘cept a lovin’ family and a song to sing.The well is full when the spirit’s highand life is rich like a sweet potato pie”ChorusI lick the bowl when the batter’s goneIt’s warm in the kitchen when the oven’s onWarm as a wink from grandma’s eyeChorusNow the pie it coolin’ on the window sillI just can’t wait to eat my fillI come runnin’ so fast I’d like to diewhen I hear the name Grandma call me byOh my, Sweet Potato PieCome along now, Sweet Potato Pie…….uh huh BridgeNow me and Grandma set awhileJust two forks and two big smilesNot a word shared just a hug and a sighChorus 2XNow I’m all growed up and I moved awaybut I still remember what Grandma’d say“The well is full when the spirit’s high”And how I miss my Sweet Potato PieChorusWell now, I got me a house full a children, it’s warm and brightThe well is full like the moon tonightWe’re given thanks and I’ll tell you why…….Grandma’s here makin’ sweet potato pieGreat Grandma’s here makin’ sweet potato pieChorus
