| Put on the skillet, put on the lid
|
| Mama’s gonna bake a little shortenin' bread
|
| That ain’t all she’s gonna do,
|
| She’s gonna make a little coffee, 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
|
| 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»
|
| Mammy’s baby loves shortenin'
|
| Mammy’s baby loves bread
|
| Mammy’s baby loves shortenin' bread
|
| Ri diddle dee etc…
|
| Slip to the kitchen, slip up the led,
|
| Filled my pockets full of short’nin' bread;
|
| Stole the skillet, stole the led,
|
| Stole the gal makin' short’nin' bread.
|
| Mama’s baby loves short’nin',
|
| Mama’s baby loves short’nin'
|
| Mama’s little baby loves to have the shortenin' bread
|
| The short’nin' bread is always diddly-da-da, etc…
|
| The must have their bread
|
| They caught me with the skillet, they caught me with the led,
|
| Caught me with the gal makin' short’nin' bread;
|
| Paid six dollars for the skillet, six dollars for the led,
|
| Spent six months in jail eatin' short’nin' bread.
|
| Mama’s little baby loves short’nin', short’nin',
|
| Mama’s little baby loves short’nin' bread,
|
| Mama’s little baby loves short’nin', short’nin',
|
| Rip-ho, ho, etc…
|
| Oh shortenin', da-da-da-da,
|
| Oh Mammy, give us that bread |
