Anonymous – Shortnin Bread Chords

Three little babies lyin’ in the bed
Two were sick and the other half dead
Called for the doctor, the doctor said
Give those babies some 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

Put on the skillet put on the lid
Mamma’s going to make a little shortnin’ bread
That’s not all she’s going to do
Mamma’s going 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

Go in the kitchen, lift up the lid
Fill my pockets with shortnin’ bread
Stole the skillet, stole the lid
Stole the gal making 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

Caught with the skillet, caught with the lid
Caught with the gal making shortnin’ bread
Paid six dollars for the skillet, six dollars for the lid
Spent six months in jail eating 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
