Put on the skillet, put on the led
Mama gonna cook some shortnin' bread
Whole family love shortnin' bread

Two little boys, layin' in the bed
One turned over and the other one said
My momma cooks shortnin' bread

Shoo that chicken off that led
'Fore he...
The whole family loves shortnin' bread

One, layin' in the bed
One turned over and the other said
My mother...
My momma cooks shortnin' bread
