Ol' Cook Pot Songtext
von The Henry Girls

Mama gonna bargain with the old cook pot
Try to get more than what that woman got
Don't trim no fat no potatoes from a box
Mama gonna bargain with the old cook pot
Mama gonna bargain with the old cook pot
Mama gonna bargain with the old cook pot

Mama gonna water that gravy down
Try to make enough to go around
With five mouths to feed and papa in the ground
Mama gonna water that gravy down
Mama gonna water that gravy down
Mama gonna water that gravy down


So thank the lord and sit up straight
Mind your manners and clean your plate
Don't ask for more, savour every drop
'Cause there's nothing more coming from the old cook pot
nothing more coming from the old cook pot

Oh Mama gonna bargain with the old cook pot
Pray to the maker make the hunger stop
Then ask a little more than what we got
Mama gonna bargain with the old cook pot

So thank the lord and sit up straight
Mind your manners and clean your plate
Don't ask for more, savour every drop
'Cause there's nothing more coming from the old cook pot

So thank the lord and sit up straight
Mind your manners and clean your plate
Don't ask for more, savour every drop
'Cause there's nothing coming out, nothing coming out
Oh Mama gonna bargain with the old cook pot
Pray to the maker make the hunger stop
Then ask a little more than what we got
Mama gonna bargain with the old cook pot
