Soon's we all cook sweet potatoes
Celebrating the immediate action of cooking sweet potatoes collectively
Sweet Potatoes, Sweet Potatoes
Emphasizing the focus on sweet potatoes in a repetitive and rhythmic manner
Soon's we all cook sweet potatoes
Reiteration of the communal act of cooking sweet potatoes
Eat 'em right up
Encouragement to consume the sweet potatoes without delay
Soon's supper's et, momma hollers
Announcement that supper is finished, signaled by the mother calling out
Momma hollers, momma hollers
Repetition of the mother's call, emphasizing the end of the meal
Soon's suppers et, momma hollers
Confirmation that supper is indeed finished with the mother urging bedtime
"Time to go to bed!"
Directive for everyone to go to bed after the meal
Soon's we touch our heads to the pillow
Describing the act of touching heads to pillows as a prelude to sleep
To the pillow, to the pillow
Repetition of the action of touching heads to pillows, emphasizing bedtime routine
Soon's we touch our heads to the pillow
Reiteration of the bedtime routine with a focus on the act of sleeping
Go to sleep right smart

Soon's the rooster crows, in the morning
Anticipating the crowing of the rooster in the morning
In the morning, in the morning

After school's out gotta get right home
Highlighting the importance of returning home promptly after school
