Have to audio version, but can't make out all the words. Wonder if John Lair wrote the lyrics for the Coon Creek Girls. He re-wrote some some songs to fit their style. Thanks- AR |

That may help with a search if no one has the lyrics to hand. AR, I gotta hit the sack, but if no one answers this by tomorrow when I roust my bones out of bed, I'll have a try at locating the lyrics for you. |

Chorus: I like the shortening bread You like the shortening bread They like the shortening bread Everybody like the shortenin' bread. Well… Sheeps in the meadow, cows in the corn Where in the world has the little boy gone Out in the kitchen his hat on his head Getting him stuffed? with shortenin' bread. Well...Poor old Worked all summer |
