Cornbread and butterbeans

<Cornbread and butterbeans and you across the table

Eatin' beans and makin' love as long as I am able

Growin' corn and cotton too and when the day is over

Ride the mule and cut the fool and love again all over>

Hoein' corn and cotton too, 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

<...>

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

<...>

I can't read and don't care and education's 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

<...>

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
