[Lyric] Shortnin Bread (The Viscounts)

Three little children, lyin' in bed
Two were sick and the other 'most dead
Sent for the doctor and the doctor said
"Give those children some short'nin' bread."

Mama's little baby loves short'nin', short'nin'
Mama's little baby loves short'nin' bread
Mama's little baby loves short'nin', short'nin'
Mama's little baby loves short'nin' bread

Put on the skillet, slip on the lid
Mama's gonna make a little short'nin' bread
That ain't all she's gonna do
Mama's gonna make a little coffee, too

Mama's little baby loves short'nin', short'nin'
Mama's little baby loves short'nin' bread
Mama's little baby loves short'nin', short'nin'
Mama's little baby loves short'nin' bread

When those children, sick in bed
Heard that talk about short'nin' bread
Popped up well to dance and sing
Skipped around and cut the pigeon wing
Mama's little baby loves short'nin', short'nin'
Mama's little baby loves short'nin' bread
Mama's little baby loves short'nin', short'nin'
Mama's little baby loves short'nin' bread
