The Henry Girls - Ol' Cook Pot

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.

Mmm, mmm, mmm

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.

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.

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.
