Lyrics

Cornbread, Cornbread Red
All that cornbread goin' 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't thank me or tell me true
'Cause I can see you ain't got a clue
Not much it means to you

Cornbread, Cornbread Red
All that cornbread goin' to your head

Cornbread, Cornbread Red
All that cornbread goin' to your head

Red is red and blue is blue
Collard greens and vegetable too
I don't ask that much of you

Little Miss Polly gonna ask you out
Left runnin' with your foot in your mouth
More cornbread will help you out

Cornbread, Cornbread Red
All that cornbread goin' to your head

Cornbread, Cornbread Red
All that cornbread goin' to your head

Papa went fishin', said come along son
Have to wait 'til the cornbread's done
If you wanna catch up, you better run

If there's one thing I want you to do
One thing I ask of you
Take tomorrow and start anew

Cornbread, Cornbread Red
All that cornbread goin' to your head

Cornbread, Cornbread Red
All that cornbread goin' to your head

Cornbread, Cornbread Red
All that cornbread goin' to your head
