Put on the skillet
Put on the lid
Mammy's gonna make you some short'nin' bread
Well, a-Mammy she do baby love the short'nin' short'nin'
Mammy she do baby love the short'nin' bread
Well, a-Mammy she do baby love the short'nin' short'nin'
Mammy she do baby love the short'nin' bread
Well, I put on the skillet, I put on the lid
Mammy's gonna make you some short'nin' bread
Yeah, and that ain't all she's a-gonna do
Mammy's gonna make you some coffee, too
Ah, Mammy she do baby love the short'nin' short'nin'
Mammy she do baby love the short'nin' bread
Yeah, Mammy she do baby love the short'nin' short'nin'
Mammy she do baby love the short'nin' bread
Now, two little children, lyin' in bed
A-one of them sick and a-one more dead
I called the doctor and here's what he said
"Give them kids some short'nin' bread"
Ah, Mammy she do baby love the short'nin' short'nin'
Mammy she do baby love the short'nin' bread
Well, a-Mammy she do baby love the short'nin' short'nin'
Mammy she do baby love the short'nin' bread
Go!
Woo-hoo!
Woo, come on!
Well, I went to the kitchen, I opened up the lid
I filled my pockets with the short'nin' bread
I went to the corner, then I stood on my head
And there I stood in my short'nin' bread
Ah, Mammy she do baby love the short'nin' short'nin'
Mammy she do baby love the short'nin' bread
Well, Mammy she do baby love the short'nin' short'nin'
Mammy she do baby love the short'nin' bread
I put on the skillet, I put on the lid
Mammy's gonna make you some short'nin' bread
Yeah, and that ain't all she's a-gonna do
Mammy's gonna make you some coffee, too
Ah, Mammy she do baby love the short'nin' short'nin'
Mammy she do baby love the short'nin' bread
Yeah, Mammy she do baby love the short'nin' short'nin'
Mammy she do baby love the short'nin' bread
Short'nin' bread, short'nin' bread
Yip!
