[Lyric] Mammys little baby loves shortnin bread (James Whitcomb Riley)

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.

Two little chillun lyin in bed,
One of 'em sick and de odder mos' dead,
Call for de docter and de doctor said
"Feed dem chillun on 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.

Goin to da kitchen and put on da led,
Put on da skillet for shortnin bread,
Shortnin bread and it baked thin,
Always makes dem chillun grin.

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.
Messin' round the kitchen lak a busy bee,
Da busiest mammy you ever did see,
Gotta hurry up wit da shortnin bread,
Gotta get dem chillun right outta bed.

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.

"How about dat shortnin bread?",
"When i gonna git that shortnin bread?",
Cried a little baby a-lyin in bed,
his eyes was shut like ben dead.

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.

De odder little fella sick in de bed,
When he hear tell of shortnin bread,
He popped up well,
He dance and sing,
He almost cut da pigeon wing.
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.
