Intro

Chorus

Cornbread and butterbeans and you across the table

Eating them beans and making love as long as I am able

Growing 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 Louisi ana

Buy a coon dog and a big fat hog and marry Suz ianna.

Same song ding dong I'll take a trip to China

Cornbread and butterbeans and back to North Car olina.

REPEAT CHORUS

Wearin' shoes and drinkin' booze goes against the Bible.

A necktie will make you die and cause you lots of tr ouble

Streetcars and whiskey bars and kissing pretty wom en

Women yeah that's the end of a terrible be ginning

REPEAT CHORUS

I can't read and don't care and education is aw ful

Raisin' heck and writing checks it ought to be unlaw ful

Silk hose and frilly clothes is just a waste of mo ney

Come with me and stay with me and say you'll be my h oney

REPEAT CHORUS

That pretty much does it. Good simple traditional song. Enjoy.

one more thing. The fiddle part goes something like this.
