Put on the skillet
Put on the lid
Mammy's little baby
Wants shortnin' bread
Mammy's little baby
Loves shortnin', shortnin'
Mammy's little baby
Loves shortnin' bread
Mammy's little baby
Loves shortnin', shortnin'
Mammy's little baby
Loves shortnin' bread
Well, I put on the skillet
I put on the lid cause
Mammy's little baby
Wants shortnin' bread
Well, I slipped into the kitchen
I picked off the lid
I stuffed myself full
Of shortnin' bread, well
Mammy's little baby
Loves shortnin', shortnin'
Mammy's little baby
Loves shortnin' bread
Mammy's little baby
Loves shortnin', shortnin'
Mammy's little baby
Loves shortnin' bread
Yeah
Mammy's little baby
Loves shortnin', shortnin'
Mammy's little baby
Loves shortnin' bread
Mammy's little baby
Loves shortnin', shortnin'
Mammy's little baby
Loves shortnin' bread
Well, two little children
Are sitting in bed
One of them's sick
And the other one's red
Well, I called for the doctor
And here's what he said
Better make those children
Some shortnin' bread
Mammy's little baby
Loves shortnin', shortnin'
Mammy's little baby
Loves shortnin' bread
Mammy's little baby
Loves shortnin', shortnin'
Mammy's little baby
Loves shortnin' bread
Yeah, shortnin' bread
Yeah, shortnin' bread
Yeah, shortnin' bread
