Schwa Lyrics

A Good Bunch of Biscuits

Lyricist: Jim & Jesse McReynolds
Vocalist: Cliff Starbuck

Back in the days when i was a lad
there was only one thing that could make me  glad
A good bunch of biscuits
A fine batch of biscuits

Papa didn't cuss for just a little bit
But if mama didn't make 'em  
He'd throw a big fit
He had to have biscuits
A big bunch of biscuits

All of us kids all sixteen of us
If mama didn't make 'em you could hear us fuss
We had to have biscuits
A good bunch of biscuits

Chorus:
Three times a day
Seven days a week
We just couldn't resist it
Clean off the plate
Have another plate
Couldn't eat a solitary biscuit

I don't know how mama ever coulda made 'em
Enough to keep up with the way we ate 'em
We had to have biscuits
A fine batch of biscuits

How could a man sop Red-Eyed gravy
With a biscuit so light it'll drive you crazy
A good bunch of biscuits
A fine batch of biscuits

Chorus

Turned eighteen, Got me a wife 
Thought i'd eat white bread the rest of my life
But i got biscuits
A fine batch of biscuits

If we ever get rich we'll have a lot more
but i'll keep eatin' just like i did before
A good bunch of biscuits
Them hot fried biscuits

Goodness Gracious
A fine batch of biscuits

Most of us kids had fingernails missin'
Caused by grabbin' them hot fried biscuits
Had to have biscuits
A fine batch of biscuits

Goodness Gracious
Very good biscuits
