Yamboree Queen

Yamboree Queen

You are the prettiest gal I've ever seen

Jump down from your throne, come and sit by me, baby

I'm your sweet potato man

Yes I yam yes I yam

Athens, Texas has a Black-Eyed Pea Queen

I suppose Brussels has a Brussel Sprout Queen

But on down in Gilmer we make sweet potato pie

And it will really knock you out

So I'm going down to Gilmer if I have to walk

I'm going to sweet talk that sweet thing

With my sweet potato talk

And before the night is over

I'm gonna have me some sweet potato pie yes I yam

Now the Buckeye Band is playing on the square

To the strains of Sweet Adeline

And I'm going back for just one more helping of

That sweet potato pie (mighty fine!)

And the Yamboree Queen

She's sitting right next to me

We're like two sweet potatoes sitting on a vine

And I'm gonna make her my sweet potato wife

And she's gonna make me sweet potato pie all the time
