Butter Beans

Just a bowl of butter beans
Pass the corn-bread if you please
I don't want no collard greens
All I want is a bowl of butter beans
Just a piece of country ham
Pass the butter and the jam
Pass the biscuits if you please
And some more of them good ol' butter beans
Bread and gravy is all right
Turnip sandwich a delight
But my children all still scream
For another bowl of butter beans
When they lay my bones to rest
Place a rose upon my chest
Plant no blooming evergreens
All I want is a bowl of butter beans
