[Chorus] Cornbread and bu*terbeans and you across the table Eatin' beans and makin' love as long as I am able Growin' corn and cotton too and when the day is over Ride the mule and cut the fool and love again all over Goodbye, don't you cry, I'm going to Louisiana To buy a coon dog and a big fat hog and marry Susie Anna Same song ding dong I'll take a trip to China Cornbread and bu*terbeans then back to North Carolina [Chorus] [Instrumental break] Wearin' shoes and drinking booze it goes against the Bible A necktie will make you die and cause you lots of trouble Streetcars and whiskey bars and kissing pretty women Women yeah that's the end of a terrible beginning [Chorus] [Instrumental break] I can't read and don't care and education is awful Raising heck and writin' checks it ought to be unlawful Silk hose and frilly clothes is just a waste of money Come with me and stay with me and say you'll be my honey [Chorus]
