Earl Blues Lyrics Translation (80* d) Lyr Add: YOUR BISCUITS ARE BIG ENOUGH FOR ME 31 Oct 98


YOUR BISCUITS ARE BIG ENOUGH FOR ME
As recorded by Bo Carter (as Bo Chatman), 1936.

Baby, don't put no more bakin' powder in your bread, you see,
'Cause your biscuits is plenty tall enough for me.
Baby, I don't want no more sugar in your jelly roll, you see,
'Cause your jelly roll is plenty sweet enough for me.
Some men like lunch meat and some they like salt tongue.
Some men don't care for biscuits; they like the dog-gone big fat bun.
But baby, don't put no more bakin' powder in your bread, you see,
'Cause your two biscuits is plenty big enough for me.

I don't want no more bakin' powders in your bread, you see,
'Cause your biscuits is plenty tall enough for me.
Baby, don't put no more sugar in your jelly roll, you see,
'Cause your jelly roll is plenty sweet enough for me.
Says, some men, you know, they're straight; some crooked 's a barrel o' snakes.
Some men don't don't like bun and biscuits; like the dog-gone flat batter cakes,
But baby, don't put no more bakin' powders in your bread, you see,
'Cause your biscuits is plenty tall enough for me.
