Cornbread and butterbeans and you across the table Eatin' them beans and makin' love as long as I am able Hoein' 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 To buy a coon dog and a big fat hog and marry Susie Anna Same song, ding-dong, I'll take a trip to China Cornbread and butterbeans, then back to North Carolina Cornbread and butterbeans and you across the table Eatin' them beans and makin' love as long as I am able Hoein' corn and cotton too, and when the day is over Ride the mule and cut the fool and love again all over Wearin' shoes and drinking booze, it 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 And cornbread and butterbeans and you across the table Eatin' them beans and makin' love as long as I am able Hoein' corn and cotton too, and when the day is over Ride the mule and cut the fool and love again all over I can't read and don't care and education is awful Raising heck and writin' 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 And cornbread and butterbeans and you across the table Eatin' them beans and makin' love as long as I am able Hoein' corn and cotton too, and when the day is over Ride the mule and cut the fool and love again all over
