Cornbread Wedding Cake - Ashley McBryde & Wood Newton
https://youtu.be/c3L6Y92AgNg

Standard Tuning - Capo 4

[Intro]
G G

[Verse]
G
Way down south where the garden grows
C
In a country church so the story goes
D
A couple tied the knot forever
C
Didn't have two nickels to rub together

[Verse]
G
But mamma was good at making do
C
Something borrowed something blue
D
A cotton dress she sewed herself
C
And after that there wasn't too much left

[Chorus]
G
So they had corn-bread wedding cake
C
Same recipe her grandma made
D
In home-made love it was baked
C
They talk about it to this day
D
Bless their heart for goodness' sake...
G C D G
They had a corn-bread wedding cake

[Verse]
G
The song was by some local fella
C
No piano just a-capella
D
The preacher's voice like a distant thunder
C
Saying let no man put asunder

[Verse]
G
Not one dry eye in the house
C
For two young lovers starting out
D
They passed the plate at the Church of Christ
C
Somebody sprung for a bag of rice

[Chorus]
G
They had corn-bread wedding cake
