When you was just a little boy remember how your ma
                               A7            D7
Just before suppertime how she laid down the law
    G
You youngens wash behind your ears Your dirty hands and then
    C             G             D7            G
Eat cornbread and buttermilk to grow you into men

[Chorus]

Keep a-eatin that cornbread and buttermilk a country boy's delight
  C            G         A7              D7
I eat it every mornin' I eat it noon and night
     G
Some people like fried chicken while others like their ham
    C             G          D7             G
But cornbread and buttermilk made me what I am

[Verse]
G
Misery in the stomach dyspepsia or the gout
                            A7               D7

   G
So my advice to you all is to eat it all the time
      C             G               D7               G
Cause cornbread and buttermilk will keep you feelin' fine

[Chorus]
G
I went to see my girl one night she sat me down to dine
                                A7         D7
On food I'd never heard of like caviar and wine
  G
I got up from the table as hungry as could be
  C                  G           D7                     G
I slipped off to the kitchen and that's where she found me

[Verse]
G
I'm eatin' that cornbread and buttermilk a country boy's delight
  C            G         A7              D7
I eat it every mornin' I eat it noon and night
     G
Some people like fried chicken while others like their ham
    C             G          D7             G
But cornbread and buttermilk made me what I am
