Hominy Grits 
  
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
