"Georgie Buck" lyrics

"Georgie Buck"

Georgie Buck is dead, the last word he said
"Don't put no shortening in my bread"
Georgie Buck is dead, the last word he said
"Don't you put no shortening in my bread"

Georgie Buck is dead, the last word he said
"Don't you let your woman have her way
If she has her way, she will go and stay all day
Don't let your woman have her way," hah

Right on this spot, ol' Black Annie got shot
Right at this barroom door
Oh, Lordy, me, oh, Lordy, my
Trouble, I don't see

Georgie Buck is dead, the last word he said
"Don't put no shortening in my bread
Don't you put no shortening in my bread, now, now
Don't put no shortening in my bread"
