Charles, Ray - Sweet Potato Pie Lyrics
Oh Lord I feel fine today
I'm walking on cloud nine today
I'm over that line today
Happiness is finally mine today
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 girlziña
That much hotter that a jalapeño
Tender like a night in June
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

Charles, Ray Sweet Potato Pie Comments
Truly one of the greatest....Have a THANKFUL THANKSGIVING!
It just doesn't get any better than Ray Charles. I saw him in Houston many years ago, and still love his music as much today as I did then. Wish it would've been "Texas On My Mind."
You say "with lyrics" and I don't see any lyrics anywhere.
CNN's 5 Things newsletter for today linked to this
Original and still the best.
It's 'bout that time of year.
This song cost 6.30$ a slice at roscoes
I was eating a sweet potato and now I'm here
Happy turkey day y'all..miss in ya Ray Baby
If you came here because of a boy band than that's a shame because its not even the right song, and the fact that this song is WAY better.
5sos did not bring me here
the great ray Charlies
Does anyone know who's playing guitar here? It sure sounds like Landau.

This was a song choice on my flight from kuwait. I had done my year and was heading home to the family happy as can be. This was my 1st time hearing it and the opening verse pulled me in. i feel fine today and happiness is finally mine(going home). over that line (the year i knew i had to do). I played this over and over almost the entire flight. Thanks for posting this Jaqpefo.
