  • 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.

    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.”

      

    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.

    Slip to
    the kitchen,
    Slip up the led,
    Filled my pockets full of
    Short’nin’ bread;
    Stole the skillet,
    Stole the led,
    Stole the gal makin’
    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.

     

    Caught
    me with the skillet,
    Caught me with the led,
    Caught me with the gal makin’
    Short’nin’ bread;

     

    Paid six
    dollars for the skillet,
    Six dollars for the led,
    Spent six months in jail eatin’
    Short’nin’ bread.

    Mama’s
    little baby loves
    Short’nin’, short’nin’,
    Mama’s little baby loves
    Short’nin’ bread,

    And that’s Mama!

    Closing down for a while see you’ll when i can love fancy
