That's The Way Mama Made It

Family's comin' over and she's clearin' out the pantry

Cornbread in the skillet and it tastes like candy

The mayor of the town nearly left his wife for a little bitty taste of that

Chocolate pie

That's the way that my mama made it

That's the way that my mama made it

With a lot of love and imagination

A lot of love and imagination

Ooh-ooh, so good

Ooh-ooh, so fine

That's the way

That's the way

That's the way

That's the way my mama made it

Turnip greens with the chicken and dumplings

Better make a little more, for the preacher is comin'

The family secret was a recipe

Gonna need a second helpin', mama

Thank you, please

That's the way that my mama made it

That's the way that my mama made it

With a lot of love and imagination

A lot of love and imagination

Ooh-ooh, so good

Ooh-ooh, so fine

That's the way

That's the way

That's the way

That's the way my mama made it

She'd fry that chicken, for the catfish jumpin'

A-three little youngin' and the bun in the oven

Cream corn cookin', chicken fried steak

Tastes so good, wanna make ya pay

That's the way that my mama made it

That's the way that my mama made it

With a lot of love and imagination

A lot of love and imagination

Ooh-ooh, so good

Ooh-ooh, so fine

That's the way

That's the way

That's the way

That's the way my mama made it

Ooh-ooh-ooh, yeah-yeah

Ooh-ooh, oh
