Paroles de Hominy Grits

Oh give me some hominy grits And some red sugar-cured ham Give me a great big bowl of gravy I'd be such a happy man If I could see the magnolias and azaleas in bloom Let me up to the table and give me lots of elbow room Then pass me that mammy fried okie And some good old black eyed peas Give me a hay rack full of biscuits Make my coffee black if you please If you feed me out of Dixie in a style so grand You'll have yourself a happy man Sorghum molasses You'll have yourself a happy man Now give me some of the hominy grits boy Or shut my mouth with a great big slab of that sugar-cured ham And about a half a gallon of this old thickened gravy And brother you're gonna have yourself a mighty happy man Well it seems like when you eat stuff like that You can see the magnolias on them honeysuckles Well you knows that they're in bloom Oh set me down to that table, boy, scoot over And give me lots of elbow room Then pass me that mammy-fried okie And some good old black eyed peas Give me a hayrack full of hot biscuits And make my coffee black if you please If you feed me out of Dixie in a style oh so grand You'll have yourself a happy man Sorghum molasses You'll have yourself a happy man
