Two lil darkies

One was sick
An the other most dead.
Went fo de doctor
Doctor he said,
"Feed dem babies on shortnin' bread"
Mammy's lil chillun love
Shortnin', shortnin',
Mammy's little chillun
Love shortnin' bread!
Fetch me de skillet
Fetch me de lead
Mammy's gonna make a lil shortnin bread.
Dat ain't all

Mammy's gonna make a little coffee, too.
Stole me de skillet
Stole me de lead
Stole me de gal makin' shortnin' bread.
Got six months fo de skillet
Six months fo' de led
Spent five years in jail eatin' Shortnin' bread!
