Greetings!

The Mudcat thread Shortnin Bread Origins contains multiple versions of that song, including one that I adapted in 1998 or so for contemporary children's groups.

Underneath this thread's title there is a listing of other Mudcat threads on Shortnin' Bread. However, I prefer the thread that I hyperlinked because in additin to providing examples of Shortnin' Bread, 'Catters and Guests discuss the history & meaning of that song and some of its lyrics {for example 'the lid' probably means the 'cover' of the pot}.

Enjoy!
