What's that tastes like gravy? Mama says I know you wanna know
What's that tastes like gravy, worrying your soul?
Said she killed that chicken and she took him down low
Said she cooked that chicken a sweet jelly roll
What's that tastes like gravy? Mama says I know you wanna know

Uncle John in Alabam', way down in Dixieland
Said he caught a possum and he named him Joe and he put him in his barn
Said he cooked that possum and he took him down low
And the grease came running from Joe Joe Joe
What's that tastes like gravy? Mama says I know you wanna know

Well I was born in Alabam', way down in Dixieland
Oh, the people come from miles around just to hear that shucking corn
Said she sounds so low, sounds so slow
Sounds just like she couldn't blow
What's that tastes like gravy? Mama says I know you wanna know

Oh, skeedle-ee-de, da-lee-da, beedle-ee-bum, I said mama says I know you wanna know
Oh, my skeedle-ee-da, beedle-ee-da, beedle-ee-bum, I said you don't know the road
Great life last year when the times were tough
I was laying in the coal yard struttin' my stuff
What's that tastes like gravy? Mama says I know you wanna know
