Shortnin' Bread

Lyrics for 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
