Cornmeal words and music by Jason Berger
Chorus:
Mama's cooking cornmeal, Cornmeal in the kitchen
Kitchen in the cornmeal, Finger licking corn
Mamas cooking cornmeal, Cornmeal in the kitchen
Cornmeal in the kitchen
Everybody knows where the cornmeal grows
Grows down in the fields
Listen to the sound of the Mississippi ground
It's the corn coming up in the fields
There goes daddy gonna run and get his sickle
Gonna work the corn till he dies
Bring it back to mamma just like he outta
So we can have a cornpone pie
Chorus:
When I was three my daddy told me.
"Son you'll be working the corn"
Now I'm a man and I don't understand,
The reason that I ever was born.
I should have been a waiter or a stock market trader
I hear there is a future in corn
But I wound up here working in a corn field
It's the only life I ever have known
Chorus
Everybody knows where the cornmeal grows
Grows down in the fields
Listen to the sound of the Mississippi ground
It's the corn coming up in the fields
There goes daddy gonna run and get his sickle
Gonna work the corn till he dies
Bring it back to mamma just like he outta
So we can have a cornpone pie
Chorus
