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 out 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 the hominy grits boy
  Or shut my mouth with a great big slab of that sugar-cured ham
  And about a half a gallon of this 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 knows that they're in bloom
  Oh 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 hayrack full of hot biscuits
  And make my coffee black if you please
  If you feed me out of Dixie in a style oh so grand
  You?ll have yourself a happy man
  
  Sorghum molasses
  You?ll have yourself a happy man
