Shortnin' Bread
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Put on the skillet, put on the lead
Mama's gonna make a little shortnin' bread
That ain't all that she's gonna do
she's gonna make a little coffee, too
Mama's little baby loves shortnin', shortnin'
Mama's little baby loves shortnin' bread
Mama's little baby loves shortnin', shortnin'
Mama's little baby loves shortnin' bread
Three little children, lying in bed
two was sick, the other 'most dead
Send for the doctor, the doctor said:
give them just some shortnin' bread
Mama's little baby ...
Put on the skillet ...
Mama's little baby ...
When them children, sick in bed
heard that talk about shortnin' bread
Popped up well and dance and sing
I get by 'round, got to be
Mama's little baby ...
