Your rating:
Say you wanna see my garden And you wanna make it shine Say you wanna see my blue jeans Hanging on your old clothes line Standing in the back door crying Now you wanna be my friend That’s the way the cornbread crumbles That’s the way the whole thing ends Now what’s the little baby doing Dressing up in beggars clothes And what’s a little sweet heart like you Doing w a bloody nose Standing in the back door crying Now you’re gonna need a friend That’s the way the cornbread crumbles That’s the way the whole thing ends Now once you had a hood and ladder Up into the headless night Now once you had a motor-cycle But you couldn’t ride it right Standing in the doorway crying Now you’re gonna need a friend That s the way the whole thing ends Now someone said something one time But daddy didn’t talk too loud People ought to stick together That’s the way to make a crowd But here you come alone and crying Now you wanna be my friend That’s the way the cornbread crumbles That’s the way the whole thing ends Mama’s in the beauty parlor Daddy’s in the baseball pool Sister’s in the drive-in movie Brother’s in the old high school I hear you come alone and crying Once you know you were my friend That’s the way the cornbread crumbles That’s the way the whole thing ends Standing in the back door crying Now you wanna be my friend That’s the way the cornbread crumbles That’s the way the whole thing ends
