Papa Charlie Jackson All I Want Is A Spoonful
I told you once : this makes twice
That's the last time : don't you boil them rice
You can brown your gravy : fry your steak
Sweet mama : don't make no mistake
Just sure as the winter : follows the fall
There ain't no one woman : got it all
You can meet a woman : that you can't understand
Must be looking for you : or a monkey‑man
Now cool kind mama : says you needn't've stalled
Throw it out the window : I'll catch it before it falls
I got the blues so bad : I couldn't sleep last night
My cool kind mama : want to fuss and fight
Now I'm so glad : that dog can talk
I can't teach him : to take a morning's walk
Now if you don't believe : that I can run mighty fast
Ask that man : that run me last
