Apples dipped in candy
Sweet potato eye
One is for your belly
The other's for your mindDay off on Sunday
When the rent is not behind
Well, that's the way it goesDay's in Mississippi
Movin' mighty slow
Like that old blackbird
Standing by the roadAble wind at times get rough
To just pick up and go
Further on down the lineHey rich man, poor man
Beggar or thief
First one gets you down the road
Next one gets you griefLast one gets you night and days
Of cotton pickin' peas
On the Captain's farmApples dipped in candy
Sweet potato eye
One is for your belly
The other's for your mindDay off on Sunday
When the rent is not behind
Well, that's the way it goesApples dipped in candy
Sweet potato eye
That's the way it goes
Sweet potato eye
My love
