Cornbread & Butterbeans - Trad / Carolina Chocolate Drops
|[Chorus]
|G C
|Cornbread and Butterbeans, and you across the table
|D7 G
|Eatin’ beans and makin’ love as long as I am able
|G C
|Hoein’ corn and cotton too and when the day is over
|D7 G
|Ride that mule, a crazy fool, and love again all over
G C
Goodbye, don’t you cry, I’m goin’ to Louisiana
D7 G
Buy a dog and a big fat hog and marry Suzyanna
G C
Sing-song, ding-dong, gonna take trip to China
D7 G
Cornbread and butterbeans and then to Carolina
|[Chorus]
G C
Wearin’ shoes and drinkin’ booze is going against the bible
D7 G
A necktie will make you die, and cause you lots of trouble
G C
Streetcars and whiskey bars and kissin’ pretty women
D7 G
Whoa man that’s the end of a terrible beginning
|[Chorus]
G C
Can’t read and don’t care and education’s awful
D7 G
Raisin’ heck and writing checks, it ought to be unlawful
G C
Silk hose and pretty clothes is just a waste of money
D7 G
I can see how glad you’ll be to marry me my honey
|[Chorus]
