Neck Bones and Gravy
An old southern classic
momma use to cook
neck bones in a pot
with potatoes, onions, and gravy
called neck bone soup
Now it may sound a little crazy
It's the neck of some animal's baby
and these neck bones, if you eat them
will truly make you feel lazy
I don't know why I even tried
the neck bones and gravy
Could it be, I truly believe
this wonderful aroma
must have hypnotized me
Now I'm in love
with the sweet tender meat
and I have it every once in awhile
A bowl with some cornbread
is just so comforting
It will make your body smile
You can roast them in the oven
cook them on the grill
serve them with greens,
beans, mac and cheese,
or anything savory
but it's nothing like
A good old pot
of neck bones and gravy
