Old Black Kettle Lyrics |
||
 I remember when I was just little mama used to cook in an old black kettleOn an old wood stove she`d had since she was wed Now the oven door was sprung a little bit So we propped it up with a forkhead stick That didn`t matter cause mama kept us fed My mama and daddy must`ve loved each other Cause I had a bunch of sisters and brothers The girls worked just as hard as us boys did There was corn to hoe we`d go hoe it we might`ve been poor but we didn`t know it We`d heard that word but we didn`t know what it meant Oh didn`t we have such a good life And the days that I knew then are the happiest I`ve known Oh didn`t we have such a good time You know it`s sad to think the old black kettle`s gone The old black kettle`s gone the old black kettle`s gone [ guitar ] Now there wasn`t nothin` that pleased us any better Than when we`d get an occasional letter From kinfolks livin` up north in some big town We`d think of all the games we`d play and we just couldn`t hardly wait When our city cousins said they was a comin` down Now mama`s done away with the old black kettle She used to cook in when I was just little And the door ain`t sprung on her new electric range And that little old farm and home we had it ain`t there no more and that`s too bad Folks`re doin` away with the simple things Oh didn`t we have... Folks`re doin` away with most of the simple things |
