Cornbread and Butterbeans Video (MV)

Cornbread and butterbeans and you across the table
Eatin' beans and makin' love as long as I am able
Growin' corn and cotton too and when the day is over
Ride the mule and cut the fool and love again all over

Hoein' corn and cotton too, I'm going to Louisiana
To buy a coon dog and a big fat hog and marry Susie Anna
Same song, ding-dong, I'll take a trip to China
Cornbread and butterbeans then back to North Carolina

Cornbread and butterbeans and you across the table
Eatin' beans and makin' love as long as I am able
Growin' corn and cotton too and when the day is over
Ride the mule and cut the fool and love again all over

Wearin' shoes and drinking booze, it goes against the Bible
A necktie will make you die and cause you lots of trouble
Streetcars and whiskey bars and kissing pretty women
Women, yeah, that's the end of a terrible beginning

Cornbread and butterbeans and you across the table
Eatin' beans and makin' love as long as I am able
Growin' corn and cotton too and when the day is over
Ride the mule and cut the fool and love again all over

I can't read and don't care and education's awful
Raising heck and writin' checks, it ought to be unlawful
Silk hose and frilly clothes, is just a waste of money
Come with me and stay with me and say you'll be my honey

Cornbread and butterbeans and you across the table
Eatin' beans and makin' love as long as I am able
Growin' corn and cotton too and when the day is over
Ride the mule and cut the fool and love again all over

Wearin' shoes and drinking booze it goes against the Bible
A necktie will make you die and cause you lots of trouble
Women, yeah, that's the end of a terrible beginning

Cornbread and butterbeans and you across the table
Eatin' beans and makin' love as long as I am able
Growin' corn and cotton too and when the day is over
Ride the mule and cut the fool and love again all over
