Short’nin’ Bread (L.O.C. recordings) Mississippi John Hurt

Put on the skillet, put on the led
Mama's gonna cook some short'nin' bread
Whole family loves short'nin' bread
The whole family loves short'nin' bread

Two little boys, layin' in the bed
One turned over, and the other one said
"My momma's gonna cook some...
Momma's gonna cook some short'nin' bread"

Put on the skillet, put on the led
Mama's gonna cook some short'nin' bread
'Family loves short'nin' bread

Shoo that chicken off that led
'Fore he shit in that short'nin' bread [Laughs]
Family love short'nin' bread

The whole family love short'nin bread
[Laughs]
