CORNBREAD AND BUTTERMILK As recorded by Little Jimmy Dickens
When you was just a little boy remember how your ma Just before suppertime, how she laid down the law You young'ns wash behind your ears, your dirty hands and then Eat cornbread and buttermilk to grow you into men
CHORUS Keep a eatin' that cornbread and buttermilk, a country boy's delight I eat it ev'ry mornin', I eat it noon & night Some people like fried chicken, while others like their ham But cornbread and buttermilk made me what I am
Misery in the stomach, dyspepsia or the gout Cornbread and buttermilk is sure to help you out So my advice to you all is to eat it all the time 'cause cornbread and buttermilk will keep you feelin' fine
REPEAT CHORUS
I went to see my girl one night, she sat me down to dine On food I'd never heard of, like caviar and wine I got up from the table as hungry as could be I slipped off to the kitchen and that's where she found me
LAST CHORUS I was eatin' that cornbread and buttermilk, a country boy's delight I eat it ev'ry mornin', I eat noon & night Some people like fried chicken, while others like their ham, But cornbread and buttermilk made me what I am.
