Violetta Zironi - Shortnin' Bread Lyrics
Mamma's little baby loves shortnin', shortnin'Mamma's little baby loves shortnin' breadMamma's little baby loves shortnin', shortnin'Mamma's little baby loves shortnin' breadThree little children layin' in the bedTwo were sick and the other 'most deadSent for the doctor, the doctor said"Feed those children on shortnin' bread"Mamma's little baby loves shortnin', shortnin'Mamma's little baby loves shortnin' breadMamma's little baby loves shortnin', shortnin'Mamma's little baby loves shortnin' breadWhen those children layin' in the bedHeard that talk about shortnin' breadThey popped up well and started to singSkipping 'round the room doing the pigeon wingMamma's little baby loves shortnin', shortnin'Mamma's little baby loves shortnin' breadMamma's little baby loves shortnin', shortnin'Mamma's little baby loves shortnin' breadPut on the skilletPut on the lidMamma's going to make some shortnin' breadThat's not all she's going to doMamma's going to cook us some cocoa tooMamma's little baby loves shortnin', shortnin'Mamma's little baby loves shortnin' breadMamma's little baby loves shortnin', shortnin'Mamma's little baby loves shortnin' breadI snuck to the kitchen, picked up the lidI filled my pockets full of shortnin' breadI winked at the pretty little girl and said"Baby, how'd you like some shortnin' bread"Mamma's little baby loves shortnin', shortnin'Mamma's little baby loves shortnin' breadMamma's little baby loves shortnin', shortnin'Mamma's little baby loves shortnin' breadGot caught with the skilletGot caught with the lidGot caught with my mouth full of shortnin' breadSix months for the skillet, six months for the lidSix months in the jail eatin' shortnin' breadMamma's little baby loves shortnin', shortnin'Mamma's little baby loves shortnin' breadMamma's little baby loves shortnin', shortnin'Mamma's little baby loves shortnin' bread
