Greasy Greens

Now, way down south where I was born
They raise good good greens and corn
Sweet potato, and black-eyed peas
Green tomato, mama, and pecan trees
But them sure smell good
People smell 'em all 'roung the neighborhood
Soft and easy, they're good and greasy
Oh lord, I love
I'm crazy 'bout them
(Ate some this morning
Mouth smack a week after eating them)
Now, little girl, don't you tell me what your mama don't 'low
I want some greens anyhow
Quick as I eat 'em, sugar, I'll be gone
Mama'll never know we slipped 'em on
But them, sure was good
I'd eat 'em all if I could
Soft and easy, they're good and greasy
Hey, lord, I love
I'm crazy 'bout
(Ah, glory hallelujah! I thought I was eating some then
You know where I eat 'em?
Whoo! You hear me chewing on them?)
Now, miss, you can cook them lim-o beans
You cook something that I never have seen
But when you fix up your table for me
Fix up some of them good good greens
But them sure smell good
Oh, lord, I'd eat 'em all if I could
Soft and easy, they're good and greasy
Hey, lord, I love
