Honiny Grits Songtext
von Dean Martin

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
