Shortnin' Bread lyrics

Put on the skillet, put on the lead, Mamma's gonna make a little short'nin' bread; That ain't all, she's gonna do, Mamma's gonna to make a little coffee, too. Mamma's little baby loves shortnin', shortnin', Mamma's little baby loves shortnin',bread, Mamma's little baby loves shortnin', shortnin', Mamma's little baby loves shortnin' bread. Two little chillunchildren, lyin in bed, One of them sick, and the other one's dead, Call for the doctor and the doctor said "Feed them children on shortnin' bread". Mamma's little baby loves shortnin', shortnin', Mamma's little baby loves shortnin',bread, Mamma's little baby loves shortnin', shortnin', Mamma's little baby loves shortnin' bread.
