Put on the skillet put on the lid
Mama's gonna make a little shortnin' bread
And that ain't all that she's gonna do
She's gonna make a little coffee too yeah


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' bread


Three little children lyin' in bed
Two was sick and the other most dead
Sent for the doctor, the doctor said
Give them children some 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' bread


Put on the skillet put on the lid
Mama's gonna make a little shortnin' bread
And that ain't all that she's gonna do
she's gonna make a little coffee too


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' bread


When them children sick in bed
Heard that talk about shortnin' bread
Popped up well and dance and sing
Skippin 'round cut the pigeon wing yeah


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' 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' 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' 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' bread
Mama's little baby loves shortnin' shortnin'
Mama's little baby loves shortnin' bread
