Cornbread cornbread red
All that cornbread going to your head
If there's one thing I want you to do
One thing I ask of you
Take tomorrow and start anew
You can thank me or tell me true
'Cause I can see you ain't got a clue
Know how much it means to you
Cornbread cornbread red
All that cornbread going to your head
Red is red and blue is blue
Collard greens and vegetable stew
I don't ask that much of you
Pretty miss Polly gone ask you out
Left runnin' with a foot in yer mouth
All that cornbread'll help you out
Papa went fishin' said come along son
Have to wait 'til the cornbread's done
Ya want ketchup ya better run
If there's one thing I want you to do
One thing I ask of you
Take tomorrow and start anew
