Shortening Bread
Traditional
Two little children lying in bed
One was sick and the other most dead
Send for the doctor and the doctor said
Give them kiddies some shortening bread
Mama's little baby loves shortening shortening
Mama's little baby loves shortening bread
Put on the skillet put on the lid
Mamas going to make a little shortening bread
That ain't all mamas going to do
Mamas going to make a little coffee too
Caught with the skillet caught with the lide
Caught with the girl making shortnening bread
Dollar for the skillet dollar for the lid
Month in jail eating shortnening bread
