CORNBREAD AND BUTTERMILK
As recorded by Little Jimmy Dickens

When you was just a little boy remember how your ma
Just before suppertime, how she laid down the law
You young'ns wash behind your ears, your dirty hands and then
Eat cornbread and buttermilk to grow you into men

CHORUS
Keep a eatin' that cornbread and buttermilk, a country boy's delight
I eat it ev'ry mornin', I eat it noon & night
Some people like fried chicken, while others like their ham
But cornbread and buttermilk made me what I am

Misery in the stomach, dyspepsia or the gout
Cornbread and buttermilk is sure to help you out
So my advice to you all is to eat it all the time
'cause cornbread and buttermilk will keep you feelin' fine

REPEAT CHORUS

I went to see my girl one night, she sat me down to dine
On food I'd never heard of, like caviar and wine
I got up from the table as hungry as could be
I slipped off to the kitchen and that's where she found me

LAST CHORUS
I was eatin' that cornbread and buttermilk, a country boy's delight
I eat it ev'ry mornin', I eat noon & night
Some people like fried chicken, while others like their ham,
But cornbread and buttermilk made me what I am
