Lynch:
I'll tell you about something good TO eat,
Not oysters fish or clam;
IT'S something good Just By itself
It's Georgia Yaller Yam.
It's good to make pudding.
Mighty good TO fry;
Good for later custard,
Or good sliced later pie.
Good to eat with 'possum.
Good to eat with ham,
Good to eat Just By itself.
This Georgia ralIer Yam.
This Georgia Yaller Yam
By several names is called:
The Vineless and the Patisaw
And the famous Nancy Hall.
They are raised way down in FLORIDA.
Also out in Alabam';
But them 'taters won't compare
With the Georgia Yaller Yam.
When the winters is a-freezin'
And a-bitin' of the toes,
This YRller Yam Is bread and meat
And pretty good old clothes.
Good to eat with pork chops.
Good to eat with ham.
Good to eat just by itself,
Is this Georgia Yaller Yam.
