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 |
| 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 |
