Shortnin’ Bread The Cramps

Put on the skillet!
Put on the lid!
Mammy's little baby loves shortnin' bread

Every little baby loves shortnin, shortnin
Every little baby loves shortnin bread
Every little baby loves shortnin, sure
Every little baby loves shortnin bread

I put on the skillet
I put on the lid
I'm gonna make us some shortnin' bread
{?}

Every little baby loves shortnin, shortnin
Every little baby loves shortnin bread
Every little baby loves shortnin, sure
Every little baby loves shortnin bread

Well, two little children layin in the bed
One was sick and the other most dead
Called for the doctor, and here's what he said
"Feed those brats shortnin bread."

Every little baby loves shortnin, shortnin
Every little baby loves shortnin bread
Every little baby loves shortnin, shortnin
Every little baby loves shortnin bread
