I don’t want no cornbread, black molasses,

Supper time, O my Lawd, supper time.

Don’t you give me cornbread, black molasses,

Supper time, O my Lawd, my supper time.

Don’t let the ’gaiter

Beat you to the pone,

Give you mo’ trouble

Than days done gone.

Put ’em up solid

An’ they won’t come down.
