Cornbread and Butterbeans

Cornbread and butterbeans and you across the table
 Eatin' them beans and makin' love as long as I am able
 Hoein' 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 butterbeans, then back to North Carolina
 Cornbread and butterbeans and you across the table
 Eatin' them beans and makin' love as long as I am able
 Hoein' corn and cotton too, and when the day is over
 Ride the mule and cut the fool and love again all over
 ♪
 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
 And cornbread and butterbeans and you across the table
 Eatin' them beans and makin' love as long as I am able
 Hoein' corn and cotton too, and when the day is over
 Ride the mule and cut the fool and love again all over
 ♪
 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
 And cornbread and butterbeans and you across the table
 Eatin' them beans and makin' love as long as I am able
 Hoein' corn and cotton too, and when the day is over
 Ride the mule and cut the fool and love again all over
