Sweet Potato Pie — текст песни (Ray Charles)

Oh Lord I feel fine today

I`m walking on cloud nine today

I`m over that line today

Happiness is finally mine today



I guess I`m just a lucky guy

And I`m prepared to tell you why

It`s strictly on account of my

Sweet Potato Pie



I`m the fellow that she loves the most

The main reason why she left the coast

She`s my little girlziсa

That much hotter that a jalapeсo



Tender like a night in June

Sweeter than a honeymoon

Brighter than a silver spoon

Just as crazy as a loon



Softer than a lullabye

Deeper than the midnight sky

Soulful as a baby`s cry

My Sweet Potato Pie



I used to see her around the neighborhood

I wonder how she grew up so good

She belonged to Freddy and he was bad

And I never was ready to make him mad



I`m glad I had to wait awhile

A little bit too juvenile

I needed to refine my style

A silk suit and a crocodile smile



So let the whole damn world go by

`Cause I just want to testify

From now on it`s me and my

Sweet Potato Pie
