Carrie Higgins - Sweet Potato Pie

Spin in the air and fall on the ground

When the moon turn yellow and the hoot owl fly

Grandma make my sweet potato pie

Chorus:

Oh my, Sweet Potato Pie

Oh my, Sweet Potato Pie

Butter and eggs, check the recipe twice

A whole lot of sugar and a little bit of spice

Stick in a finger, give it a try

Make sure it tastes like sweet potato pie

Chorus

Now grandma say “you don’t need a thing,

‘cept a lovin’ family and a song to sing.

The well is full when the spirit’s high

and life is rich like a sweet potato pie”

Chorus

I lick the bowl when the batter’s gone

It’s warm in the kitchen when the oven’s on

Warm as a wink from grandma’s eye

Chorus

Now the pie it coolin’ on the window sill

I just can’t wait to eat my fill

I come runnin’ so fast I’d like to die

when I hear the name Grandma call me by

Oh my, Sweet Potato Pie

Come along now, Sweet Potato Pie…….uh huh Bridge

Now me and Grandma set awhile

Just two forks and two big smiles

Not a word shared just a hug and a sigh

Chorus 2X

Now I’m all growed up and I moved away

but I still remember what Grandma’d say

“The well is full when the spirit’s high”

And how I miss my Sweet Potato Pie

Chorus

Well now, I got me a house full a children, it’s warm and bright

The well is full like the moon tonight

We’re given thanks and I’ll tell you why…….

Grandma’s here makin’ sweet potato pie

Great Grandma’s here makin’ sweet potato pie

Chorus
