Seeing the thread on "CORNBREAD AND BUTTERBEANS" made me think of this song

CORNBREAD AND BUTTERMILK
(Bobby G. Horn, aka Bobby Gee or Bobby Gene)

Cornbread and buttermilk
That's what the poor folks say
Cornbread and buttermilk
Beats them taters by the way

With a little log house
On the old homestead
Country fireplace
And the old shuck bed

Cornbread and buttermilk
That's what the poor folks say
Hoein' corn and buck and beans
All day

Plucking chickens, skinning possums
Gettin' ready for a holiday
Choppin' wood, packin' water
That's the poor folks' way

Cornbread and buttermilk
That's what the poor folks say
Turn on the family radio, get the local station
Where the music is played the country way

Eatin' popcorn
Diggin' the Grand Ole Opry
And yellin'
That's the music for me

Cornbread and buttermilk
That's what the poor folks say
Cornbread and buttermilk
Beats them taters by the way

You're invited to bring the dogs and the kids
To come and see us some day
Pull off your coat, pull off your hat
And we'll try to make welcome your stay

As performed by Bobby Gee and Redd
