Lyrics[]
Three little children lying in bed,
Two were sick, and the other full of dread.
Sent for the doctor, the doctor said
Give those 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.
Put on the the skillet, slip on the lid
Mama's gonna make a little shortnin bread.
That ain't all that she's gonna do,
Mama's gonna make a little coffee too.
Mama's little baby loves shortnin shortnin
Mama's little baby loves shortnin bread.
Mama's little babies love shortnin, shortin,
Mama's little babies love shortnin bread.
When those children sick in bed,
Heard that talk about shortin bread.
Popped up well to dance and sing,
Skipped around and caught the pigeon wing.
Mama's little baby loves shortnin shortnin
Mama's little baby loves shortnin bread.
Mama's little baby lives shortnin shortnin
Mama's little baby loves 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.
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.
