shortnin' bread

I got some flour
I got some yeast
I got an appetite
to say the least
I try to keep my stomach
properly fed
with a big ol' piece
of 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

gimme cup of coffee
tablespoon of cream
my old work boots
and yesterday's jeans
I'll start the day
working in the shed
after a piece 
of this 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

I want to be a good man
with a simple life
some primo marijuana
in a dime store pipe
love my neighbor
like the good book said
bring 'em round a piece
of that 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
