Shortnin' Bread - Johnny Mercer

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

Put on the skillet

Put on the lid

Mamma’s going to make some shortnin' bread

That aint all she’s going to do

Mamma’s going to cook a little coffee too

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

Caught me with skillet

Cwith the lid

Caught with the gal eatin' shortnin' bread

Six months for the skillet, six months for the lid

And five for stealing that fine bread

By the way who was that Nelson ed?
