You can hear this either on either Spotify or YouTube.


IF YOU DON'T LIKE POTATOES
As recorded by Monette Moore on Victor 20356, 1926.

Mandy Lee and her man they had a fuss today.
Ev'rybody in that block heard Miss Mandy say:

You say you don't like potatoes; you know that is a lie. (2x)
'Cause ev'ry time I quit you, you throw a fit and try to die.

You know you like potatoes; you like 'em rain or shine, (2x)
And what it takes to feed you 'tatoes, I keep it all the time.

Ain't no need in arguin'; cut out all your ballyhoo. (2x)
'Cause I'm gonna let you labor(?) with those old potato blues.
