Short'nin' Bread |
Mamma’s little baby loves shortnin', shortnin' |
Mamma’s little baby loves shortnin' bread |
Mamma’s little baby loves shortnin', shortnin' |
Mamma’s little baby loves shortnin' bread |
Three little children layin' in the bed |
Two were sick and the other 'most dead |
Sent for the doctor, the doctor said |
«Feed those children on shortnin' bread» |
Mamma’s little baby loves shortnin', shortnin' |
Mamma’s little baby loves shortnin' bread |
Mamma’s little baby loves shortnin', shortnin' |
Mamma’s little baby loves shortnin' bread |
When those children layin' in the bed |
Heard that talk about shortnin' bread |
They popped up well and started to sing |
Skipping 'round the room doing the pigeon wing |
Mamma’s little baby loves shortnin', shortnin' |
Mamma’s little baby loves shortnin' bread |
Mamma’s little baby loves shortnin', shortnin' |
Mamma’s little baby loves shortnin' bread |
Put on the skillet |
Put on the lid |
Mamma’s going to make some shortnin' bread |
That’s not all she’s going to do Mamma’s going to cook us some cocoa too |
Mamma’s little baby loves shortnin', shortnin' |
Mamma’s little baby loves shortnin' bread |
Mamma’s little baby loves shortnin', shortnin' |
Mamma’s little baby loves shortnin' bread |
I snuck to the kitchen, picked up the lid |
I filled my pockets full of shortnin' bread |
I winked at the pretty little girl and said |
«Baby, how’d you like some shortnin' bread» |
Mamma’s little baby loves shortnin', shortnin' |
Mamma’s little baby loves shortnin' bread |
Mamma’s little baby loves shortnin', shortnin' |
Mamma’s little baby loves shortnin' bread |
Got caught with the skillet |
Got caught with the lid |
Got caught with my mouth full of shortnin' bread |
Six months for the skillet, six months for the lid |
Six months in the jail eatin' shortnin' bread |
Mamma’s little baby loves shortnin', shortnin' |
Mamma’s little baby loves shortnin' bread |
Mamma’s little baby loves shortnin', shortnin' |
Mamma’s little baby loves shortnin' bread |
