Short'nin' Bread - Original |
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 |
