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
