Something I ain't got

Know what I need
Something I ain't got
Big white butter beans
Hot from the pot

Big slice cornbread
Baked just right
Bake enough
Save some for tonight

Fry some taters
Dice them up
Brown and crispy
Plate full be enough

Need that onion
Make meal complete
Don't this sound good
Wouldn't it be sweet

My appetite has wandered
Miss home style cooking
Now on internet
At food I'm looking

Cube steak and gravy
Old style cream taters
Momma's flat biscuits
Some fried green maters

Enough of this stuff
Broiled and baked
No salt or pepper
Had all I can take

I need food
Fried in lard
That's what I mean
Cooking that's good

When I get to Heaven
I see ole St Pete
Hope he sez
Come on buddy let's go eat
