Laurie Berkner 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 bake a little shortnin’ bread
And that ain’t all she’s gonna do
Mama’s gonna make hot chocolate too
Mama’s little baby loves…
One little child was sick in bed
When he heard tell of the shortnin’ bread
He popped up well and he danced and he sing
He cut up a rug and he danced on a wing
Mama’s little baby loves…
I slip to the kitchen, slip up the lid
Filled my pocket full of shortnin’ bread
They caught me in the kitchen
They caught me with the lik
They caught me with me picket full of shortnin’ bread
Mama’s little baby loves…
