I am looking for the words to a song I heard last weekend at a bluegrass thing. I got some of them but would really like to have them all if anyone knows it.

This is what I have so far Parden the chord notes:

Butterbeans
Play as “Just A Closer Walk With Thee”

- G AM
D G
G C
G D G
G AM
Just a bowl of butterbeans (butterbeans, butterbeans)
D C G
Pass the cornbread if you please (if you please, if you please)
G C
I don't want no collard greens (collard greens, collard greens)
G D G
Just a bowl of them good old butterbeans (butterbeans, butterbeans)

G AM
See that lady over there (over there, over there)
D C G
With the curlers in her hair (in her hair, in her hair)
G C
She's not pregnant as she seems (as she seems, as she seems)
G D G
She's just full of them good old butterbeans (butterbeans, butterbeans)

BUTTER BEANS - Little Jimmy Dickens
[4/4 Key of C](Tune of "Just A Closer Walk With Thee)


[C] Just a bowl of but-ter [G] beans
Pass the [G7] corn-bread if you [C] please
[C7] I don't want no col-lard [F] gre- [D7] ens
All I [C] want is a [G] bowl of but-ter [C] beans.


[C] Just a piece of coun-try [G] ham
Pass the [G7] but-ter and the [C] jam
[C7] Pass the bis-cuits if you [F] ple- [D7] ase
And some [C] more o' them [G] good ol' but-ter [C] beans.


[C] Red eye gravy is all [G] right
Tur-nip [G7] sand-wich a de- [C] light
[C7] But my child-ren all still [F] scr- [D7] eam
For [C] an-oth-er [G] bowl of but-ter [C] beans.


[C] Some folks think that corn-pones [G] best
Some likes [G7] grits more than the [C] rest
[C7] But if I was a man of [F] me- [D7] ans
I'd just [C] wa-ant them [G] good ol' but-ter [C] beans.


[C] See that La-dy ov-er [G] there
With the [G7] curl-ers in her [C] hair
[C7] She's not preg-nant as she [F] se- [D7] ems
She's just [C] full o' them [G] good ol' but-ter [C] beans.


[C] When they lay my bones to [G] rest
Place no [G7] ros-es upon my [C] chest
[C7] Plant no bloom-ing ev-er- [F] gre- [D7] ens
All I [C] want is' a [G] bowl of but-ter [C] beans.


[C] Just a bowl of butter [G] beans
Pass the [G7] corn-bread if you [C] please
[C7] I don't no col-lard [F] gre-[D7] ens
All I [C] want is' a [G] bowl of but-ter [C] beans.

BUTTER BEANS
Burnes, Burns, Colvin

Little Jimmy Dickens


Just a bowl of butter beans
Pass the cornbread if you please
I don't no collard greens
All I wan't is a bowl of butter beans.

Just a little piece of country ham
Pass the butter and the jam
Pass the biscuits if you please
And some more of the good ol' butter beans.

Bread and gravy is all right
A turnip sandwich is a delight
But my children all still scream
For another bowl of butter beans.

When they lay my bones to rest
Place a rose upon my chest
Plant those blooming evergreens
But all I want honey is a bowl of butter beans.

Just a bowl of butter beans
Pass the cornbread if you please
I don't no collard greens
All I wan't is a bowl of butter beans.
