Shortenin’ Bread Lyrics by Paul Robeson
Put on the skillet, put on the lid
Mammy’s gwine to bake a little shortenin’ bread
Dat ain’t all she’s gwine to do
Mammy’s gwine to make a little coffee too
Mammy’s little baby loves shortenin’, shortenin’
Mammy’s little baby loves shortenin’ bread
Mammy’s little baby loves shortenin’, shortenin’
Mammy’s little baby loves shortenin’ bread
Three little chillun a-lyin’ in bed
Two was sick and the other ‘most dead
Send fo’ the doctor, the doctor said
Feed those chillun on shortenin’ bread
Mammy’s little baby loves shortеnin’, shortenin’
Mammy’s little baby loves shortеnin’ bread
Mammy’s little baby loves shortenin’, shortenin’
Mammy’s little baby loves shortenin’ bread
