Hominy Grits

Oh, give me some hominy grits

And some red sugar-cured ham

Give me a great big bowl of gravy

I'd be such a happy man

If I could see the magnolias and azaleas in bloom

Let me up to the table, and give me lots of elbow room

Then pass me that mammy fried okie

And some good old black eyed peas

Give me a hay rack full of biscuits

Make my coffee black, if you please

If you feed me all of Dixie in a style so grand

You'll have yourself a happy man

Sorghum molasses

You'll have yourself a happy man

Now give me some of them hominy grits, boy

Or shut my mouth with a great big slab of that red sugar-cured ham

And about a half a gallon of this good old thickened gravy

And brother, you're gonna have yourself a mighty happy man

Well, it seems like when you eat stuff like that

You can see the magnolias on them honeysuckles

Well, you know when they's in bloom

Oh, set me down, set me down

Set me down to that table, boy, scoot over

And give me lots of elbow room

Then pass me that mammy-fried okie

And some good old black eyed peas

Give me a hay rack full of hot biscuits

And make my coffee black if you please

If you feed me all of Dixie in a style, oh, so grand

You'll have yourself a happy man

Sorghum molasses

You'll have yourself a happy man

Put me down, set me down
