Down on Deep Morgan, just about 16th Street
Well, it's down on Deep Morgan, just about 16th Street
Well, it's down our the basement, where the women do meet
Down in our basement, where they work so hard
Well, it's down in our basement, where they work so hard
Well, it's all on the count of they husbands ain't got no jobs
Saturday evening, when they draw their pay
On Saturday evening, when they draw their pay
When they don't draw nothin', they husbands gon' drive them away
Some draw a check, babe, some draw nothin' at all
Well, some draw a check, Lord, some draw nothin' at all
When they don't draw nothin', they husbands bust them in the jaw
Down on Franklin Avenue, jellybeans standin' to and fro
Oh, down on Franklin Avenue, jellybeans standin' to and fro
Well, you hear one jellybean ask the other one, "Which a-way did my good girl go?"

Beans beans beans beans
Beans and Cornbread had a fight
Beans knocked Cornbread out of sight
Cornbread said, "Now that's alright
Meet me on the corner tomorrow night"
I'll be ready, I'll be ready tomorrow night
I'll be ready, I'll be ready tomorrow night
I'll be ready, I'll be ready tomorrow night
That's what Beans said to Cornbread
I'll be ready tomorrow night
Beans told Cornbread "You ain't straight
You better wake up or I'll gash you gate
Been in this pot since half past two
Swelling and puffing and almost due"
I'll be ready, I'll be ready tomorrow night
I'll be ready, I'll be ready
Beans grabbed Cornbread by the toe
Beans told Cornbread, "Let me go"
Cornbread said, "I'll lay you low
I'm gonna fight you, you so-and-so"
Meet me on the corner
Meet me on the corner tomorrow night
Meet me on the corner
That's what Beans said to Cornbread
"You're so bad, always willing to fight
Meet me on the corner tomorrow night
And I'm gonna beat the Devil out ya"
On the corner tomorrow night
Beans hit Cornbread on the head
Cornbread said, "I'm almost dead"
Beans told Cornbread, "Get up man
You know that we go hand in hand"
Beans and Cornbread, Beans and Cornbread hand in hand
Beans and Cornbread, Beans and Cornbread hand in hand
That's what Beans said to Cornbread
"We should stick together hand in hand
We should hang out together like weiners and saurkraut
We should stick together like hot dogs and mustard"
We should get up every morning and hang out together like sisters and brothers
Every Saturday night, we should hang out like chitlins and potato salad
Like strawberry and shortcake
Like corned beef and cabbage
Like liver and onions
Like red beans and rice
Like meatballs and spaghetti
Like sour cream and biscuit
Like bread and butter
Like hot cakes and molasses"
Beans told Corn bread
"It makes no difference what you think about me
But it makes a whole lot of difference what I think about you
We should hang out together like hot cakes and molasses"
That's what Beans said to Cornbread
Cause Beans and Cornbread
They go hand in hand
