...POTATO'S IN THE PADDYWAGON... by The Main Street Singers --------------------------------........................... [Refrão]D Come on boys, Potato's in the paddy wagon, gotta get her outta there, D Come on boys, Potato's in the paddy wagon, mama says it just ain't fair. G Em D Verse 1: D G One night mama went to fetch us up a sweet potato, A D Fell down the cellar stairs, D G Stork dropped in while she was on the floor, A D So my sister was born down there. Bridge 1: A D Daddy says this'n will be nothin' but a misery, G D A Never will be worth a damn, D G But mama just loved her little sweet potato baby, A D With a face like a parboiled yam. [Refrão]D Come on boys, Potato's in the paddy wagon, gotta get her outta there, D Come on boys, Potato's in the paddy wagon, mama says it just ain't fair. G Em D Verse 2: D G Potato grew up to be as pretty as a peach, A D In her calico and honey yellow curls, D G Went to the apple cider ball at the arm'ry A D With all the other ripe and ready girls. Bridge 2: A D Sheriff Dan Pike, picked Po-tato for the polka, G D A But she spurned him with a fiddle de-dee, D G And be-fore she could turn around and find another partner, A D Sheriff took her into custo-dy. [Refrão]D Come on boys, Potato's in the paddy wagon, gotta get her outta there, D Come on boys, Potato's in the paddy wagon, mama says it just ain't fair. Verse 3: D G Mama'n' daddy put together quite a little posse A D Countin' me and Jack and cousin Will, D G We all hopped into the old Chevy pickup A D And we caught 'em at the top of the hill, Bridge 3: A D Daddy took his Remington and shot away the lock, G A For to set his little darlin' free, D (n.c) But Po-tato said, "Daddy, shut the gol-dern door, A D Sheriff wants to marry me!" [Refrão]D Let's go boys, Potato's in the paddy wagon, guess we better leave her there, D Let's go boys, Potato's in the paddy wagon, mama says it's more than fair, D Let's go boys, Potato's in the paddy wagon, guess we better leave her there, D Let's go boys, Potato's in the paddy wagon, mama says it's more than fair, G A D Mama says it's more than fair G A D A D Mama says it's more...than fair!
