Dolly Parton - Old Black Kettle - Sözleri

(Dolly Parton)

Well I remember when I was just little 
Mama used to cook on an old black kettle 
On an old wood stove she'd had since she was wed 
Well the oven door was sprung a little bit 
So we propped it up with a forked stick 
But that didn't matter cause Mama kept us fed 
My mama and daddy must have loved each other 
Cause I had eleven sisters and brothers 
And the girls worked just as hard as the boys did 
There was corn to hoe then we'd go hoe it 
We might have been poor but we didn't know it 
We'd heard that word but we didn't know what it meant 
Oh we used to have such a good life 
And the days that I knew then are the happiest I've known 
And oh didn't we have such a good time 
It's sad to think the old black kettle's gone 

Well there was nothing that pleased us any better 
Than when we got an occasional letter 
From kin folks 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'ze 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 electric range 
That little farm and home we had 
It ain't there no more and that's too bad 
Folks are doin' away with the simple things 

And oh we used to have such a good life 
And the days that I knew then are the happiest I've known 
And oh didn't we have such a good time 
It's sad to think the old black kettle's gone 

Now, I just mean to say the simple things are gone 
The old black kettle's gone
