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

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 girlziña
That much hotter that a jalapeño

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

    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."

  3. M.... M....

    You say "with lyrics" and I don't see any lyrics anywhere.

    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.

    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.
