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