Sidemeat and Cabbage chords by Little Jimmy Dickens
Skip chords and lyrics
Verse 1
(D major) (G major) Now all through the day
I just lay in the hay
and I wait for that old inner (D major) bell
When I hear it chime to the table
I climb and stuff in a napkin and yell (G major)
Bring me some side meat and cabbage
And don't make the order too small (D major)
I don't eat tomatoes or Irish potatoes
Just side meat and cabbage that's (G major) all
I played my guitar at a fancy bazaar
and I sang till my taunts would wear (D major) red
When time came to eat
I just grabbed me a seat
and looked right at the butler and said (G major)
Give me some side meat and cabbage
and don't make the order too small (D major)
And if you ain't got none
then go out and get some
just side meat and cabbage that's (G major) all
I took Jesse Mae to a roadside cafe
and the waiter showed up to our (D major) place
He said, will you dine on
some lobster and wine
and I stood up and yelled in his face (G major)
Gimme some side meat and cabbage
and don't make the order too (D major) small
There'll be no shellfishes
or other swell dishes,
just side meat and cabbage, that's all
(G major) Now when we were wed to my Jessie I said,
you know you're the one I (D major) adore
My love is sincere and I
swear to you dear,
there's only one thing I love more (G major)
Give me some side meat and cabbage,
and don't make the order too small (D major)
You're heaven's most blessedest,
but what I like bestest
is side meat and cabbage, that's all
(G major) I don't care for oodles
and pot roast and noodles,
and I don't go for chicken pot (D major) pie.
I always say phooey on
Chinese chop suey,
and I never eat tuna on rye. (G major)
I can't get the habit of eatin' fried rabbit,
I don't like the flavor of (D major) lamb.
I never eat muffins or turkey
with stuffins,
don't like cackleberries and ham.
(G major) I wouldn't say howdy
to Apple Pan Dowdy
I won't eat the legs of (D major) a frog
And though they're a big treat
I don't go for big feet
I eat higher up on the hog (G major)
I never make passes at flapjacks and lasses
I don't care for cookies an (D major) d tea
I never ask waiters for
possums and taters
They know what I care for,
they know what I come for
Just side meat and cabbage,
that's (G major) all
