some good old sugar -cured ham
Give me a great big bowl of gravy,
Let me up to the table there, boys,
And give me lots of herbal room
Some good old black -eyed peas
Give me a hay rack full of hot biscuits
Make my coffee black if you please
If you feed me a la Dixie
Oh, give me some of them hominy grips
And a great big slab of that
And about a half a gallon
of that good old quickman gravy
And brother, you're gonna have yourself
seems like when you eat stuff like that
You can just see the magnolias
Ah, set me down, set me down
Scoop way over there, boys
And give me lots of elbow room
Some good old black -eyed peas
Give me a hay rack full of hot biscuits
Make my coffee black if you please
If you feed me a lard dixie
You'll have yourself a happy man
