Old uncle Josh, he lives down on the farm.
He raise sweet potatoes and cotton and corn.
He said by gosh, I ain’t goin’ ta give you none.

I got a sweet potato head is steaming hot.
Before I give it away I’m goin’ ta let it rot.
I got sweet potatoes, I ain’t goin’ ta give you none.

Old aunt Jane gotta sweet potato in her hand.
If you want good potatoes bake it in my pan.
I got sweet potatoes, I ain’t goin’ ta give you none.

Keep up your stove, head is burnin’ low.
I’m goin’ ta show you something mama, you never seen before.
I got sweet potatoes, ain’t goin’ ta give you none.

I ain’t goin’ ta give you none of my bakin’ I ain’t got enough.
If you want to get my sweet potatoes you got to buy my stuff.
‘Cause I got sweet potatoes, and I ain’t goin’ ta give you none.
