NEGRO FOLK-SONGS
Dat she's gwine to do — She's gwine to make A li'l coffee, too.
Chorus
Mammy's li'l baby loves short'inn', short'nin', Mammy's li'l baby loves short'nin' bread. Mammy's li'l baby loves short'nin', short'nin', Mammy's li'l baby loves short'nin' bread*
SHORTNIN BREAD
Three li'l Niggers Lyin' in bed. Two wuz sick An' t'trier 'most dead. Sont fo' de doctor, An' de doctor said, " Give dem Niggers Some short'Din' bread!"
Chorus
I slipped in de kitchen, An' slipped up de led, An' I slipped my pockets Full ob short'nin' bread. I stole de skillet, I stole de led, I stole de gal To make short'nin' bread.
Chorus
