This mornin'
C

Well,

them black -eyed peas
That's soul food,

Woman, pass me them biscuits, please
Some more soul food

About poor

Put a bullfrog down my back at that

Oh, my mama said, son
What's happened to your appetite?

this hot stove cooking
And you haven't touched
a single bite, no

Dropped by the house today, yeah

dinner with us on
Sunday
Oh son, by the way,

Stand up on chartreuse, yeah

Tallahatchie

Woo -hoo -hoo -hoo
Well, years come and go since

My brother got mad at

Thompson and they bought him a little
country store down in
Tupelo

There was a virus going around,
papa caught it and he died last spring
Sorry about that
C
Now mama sits around and doesn't
seem to want to do much of anything

Me, I spent a lot of time eatin' me a
cold watermelon on
Chattahoochee
C
And I spit the seeds into the muddy
Tallahatchie
C
Bridge
