GC
Cornbread and butterbeans and you across the table
DG
Eating them beans and making love as long as I am able
GC
Growing corn and cotton too and when the day is over
DG
Ride the mule and cut the fool and love again all over
GC
Goodbye don't you cry I'm going to Louisiana
DG
Buy a coon dog and a big fat hog and marry Suzianna.
GC
Same song ding dong I'll take a trip to China
DG
Cornbread and butterbeans and back to North Carolina.
REPEAT CHORUSGC
Wearin' shoes and drinkin' booze goes against the Bible.
DG
A necktie will make you die and cause you lots of trouble
GC
Streetcars and whiskey bars and kissing pretty women
DG
Women yeah that's the end of a terrible beginning
REPEAT CHORUS GC
I can't read and don't care and education is awful
DG
Raisin' heck and writing checks it ought to be unlawful
GC
Silk hose and frilly clothes is just a waste of money
DG
Come with me and stay with me and say you'll be my honey
REPEAT CHORUS
