Salmon patties makes U beg

collard greens, baked macaroni and

cheese

sweet potatoes, chicken gizzards,

conk fritters

black-eyed peas, butter beans

dirty rice, Texas Pete, Red Hot

Savory

Morsels

(R not getting)

Til' U come home

and oh yes!

Suck the barbecue

(Soul Juices)

from your thirsty fingertips!

COME HOME
