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.
