Well i put on the skillet, I put on the lid,
Cos Mama's little baby wants shortnin' bread.
Slipped to the kitchen, I kicked off the lid,
Stuffed myself full 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', shortnin',
Mama's little baby loves shortnin' bread.

Two little children, were sitting in bed
One of them sick and the other'most dead
Well I called for the doctor and here's what he said
Better make 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.

Shortnin' bread
