Cornbread  and butterbeans and you across the table
Eating  them beans and making love as long as I am able
Growing  corn and cotton too and when the day is over
Ride  the mule and cut the fool and love again all over
Goodbye  don't you cry I'm going to Louisiana
Buy  a coon dog and a big fat hog and marry Suzianna.
Same  song ding dong I'll take a trip to China
Cornbread  and butterbeans and back to North Carolina.
 REPEAT CHORUS
Wearin'  shoes and drinkin' booze 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
 REPEAT CHORUS
I  can't read and don't care and education is awful
Raisin'  heck and writing 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
 REPEAT CHORUS
 That pretty much does it. Good simple traditional song. Enjoy.
 one more thing. The fiddle part goes something like this.
