Mama's gonna make some shortnin bread.
Shortnin bread.

Get that wood out out of the shed.
Oh mercy! Lookee there.
Boys, mother's gonna make some shortnin bread.*

Oh mercy, it sure is a sin.
Mama mama don't be fast.
Do not show your big fine......shortnin bread.

Yelled over instruments playing
Come on mama!
Open it up!
Open it!

Spoken at the end of the recording
What kind of bread is that?
It must be good bread.
