CORNBREAD WEDDING CAKE

WAY DOWN SOUTH WHERE THE COTTON GROWS
AT A COUNTRY CHURCH SO THE STORY'S TOLD
A COUPLE TIED THE KNOT FOREVER
DIDN'T HAVE TWO NICKELS TO RUB TOGETHER
BUT HER MOMMA WAS GOOD MAKING DO
SOMETHING BORROWED AND SOMETHING BLUE
A COTTON DRESS SHE SEWED HERSELF
AFTER THAT THERE WASN'T TOO MUCH LEFT

THEY HAD A CORNBREAD WEDDING CAKE
SAME RECIPE HER GRANDMA MADE
WITH HOME MADE LOVE IT WAS BAKED
THEY STILL TALK ABOUT IT TO THIS DAY
BLESS THEIR HEARTS FOR GOODNESS SAKE
THEY HAD A CORNBREAD WEDDING CAKE

THE SONG WAS BY A LOCAL FELLA
NO PIANO, A CAPELLA
THE PREACHER'S VOICE LIKE DISTANT THUNDER
SAID LET NO MAN PUT ASUNDER
NOT ONE DRY EYE IN THE HOUSE
FOR TWO YOUNG LOVERS STARTING OUT
THEY PASSED THE PLATE AT THE CHURCH OF CHRIST
SOMEBODY SPRUNG FOR A BAG OF RICE

THEY HAD A CORNBREAD WEDDING CAKE
SAME RECIPE HER GRANDMA MADE
WITH HOME MADE LOVE IT WAS BAKED
THEY STILL TALK ABOUT IT TO THIS DAY
BLESS THEIR HEARTS FOR GOODNESS SAKE
THEY HAD A CORNBREAD WEDDING CAKE
