🎸 Verse :

Way down south where the garden grows

Didn't have two nickels to rub together

But mamma was good at making do

            G
So they had corn-bread wedding cake

They talk about it to this day

Bless their heart for goodness' sake

They had a corn-bread wedding cake

The song was by some local fella

Saying let no man put asunder

Not one dry eye in the house

They passed the plate at the

Somebody sprung for a bag of rice
