Shortnin' Bread

Mama's little baby loves shortnin', shortnin'

Mama's little baby loves shortnin', bread

Mama's little baby loves shortnin', shortnin'

Mama's little baby loves shortnin', breadPut on the skillet, put on the lid

Mama's gonna bake a little shortnin' bread

And that ain't all she's gonna do

Mama's gonna make hot chocolate tooMama's little baby lovesOne little child was sick in bed

When he heard tell of the shortnin' bread

He popped up well and he danced and he sing

He cut up a rug and he danced on a wingMama's little baby lovesI slip to the kitchen, slip up the lid

Filled my pocket full of shortnin' bread

They caught me in the kitchen

They caught me with the lid

They caught me with me pocket full of shortnin' breadMama's little baby loves
