Cornbread And 'Lasses (Sassafras Tea)

(album: Rare Junk - 1968)

Come here girls and listen to my noise
Don't you marry an Arkansas boy
Marry a feller from Tennessee, eat
Cornbread, and 'lasses and sassafras tea
Cornbread, and 'lasses and sassafras tea.

Traveled all over this whole wide world
Eat a lotta cooking from a lotta pretty girls
But there's none like Tennessee
With cornbread, and 'lasses and sassafras tea
Cornbread, 'lasses and sassafras tea.

Well, Grandpa Snazzy lives on the hill
He ain't never died and I guess he never will
The neighbours all around say he's ninety three
The old man's happy as he can be eating
Cornbread, 'lasses and sassafras tea
Cornbread, 'lasses and sassafras tea.

Well, old Uncle Bill on his dying bed
He called 'em all around and then he said
My last request, please, let it be
Cornbread, 'lasses and sassafras tea
Cornbread, 'lasses and sassafras tea.

Well, come here, girls, and listen to my noise
Don't you marry an Arkansas boy
Marry a feller from Tennessee, eat
Cornbread, and 'lasses and sassafras tea
Cornbread, and 'lasses and sassafras tea.
