I Keep My Skillet Good & Greasy All the Time
Traditional
I’m going downtown, gonna buy me a sack of flour
Gonna cook it up every hour
I keep my skillet good and greasy all the time, time, time
I keep my skillet good and greasy all the time
Darling if you say so, I’ll never go to work no more
I will lay around your shanty all the time, time, time
I will lay around your shanty all the time
Those men don’t like me, just because I keep my pride
All you women crying papi, say you want to be my bride
I keep my skillet good and greasy all the time, time, time
I keep my skillet good and greasy all the time
Gonna take them by the hand, all gonna have a ball
You got a mule kickin’ in your stall
I keep my skillet good and greasy all the time, time, time
I keep my skillet good and greasy all the time
Got chickens in my sack, a pack of bloodhounds on my tracks
I’m pullin’ for my shanty home, home, home
I’m pullin’ for my shanty home
If they beat me to the door, I’m gonna put ‘em under the floor
I keep my skillet good and greasy all the time, time, time
I keep my skillet good and greasy all the time
Goin’ to the hills, bout to fetch me a jug of whiskey
I’m gonna give it to my girl
I keep her good and drunk and frisky all the time, time, time
I keep her good and drunk and frisky all the time
I’m going downtown, gonna buy me a sack of flour
Cut it up now nigh on every hour
I keep my skillet good and greasy all the time, time, time
I keep my skillet good and greasy all the time
