Come On In My Kitchen (Alternate Take)

(album: The Complete Recordings - 1990)

Mmm mmm mmm...

You better come on in my kitchen, it's going to be raining outdoors
When a woman gets in trouble, everybody throws her down
Looking for yo' good friend, none can be found
You better come on in my kitchen, it's going to be raining outdoors

Nnn, the woman I love, took from my best friend
Some joker got lucky, stole her back again
She better come on in my kitchen, baby, it's going to be raining outdoors
(spoken: Mama, can't you hear that wind howl?
Oh how the wind do howl!)
You better come on in my kitchen, baby, it's going to be raining outdoors

Nnn, the woman that I love, I crave to see
She's up the country, won't write to me
Then, you better come on in my kitchen, going to be raining outdoors

I went to the mountain, far as my eyes could see
Some other man got my woman, lonesome blues got me
But she better come on in my kitchen, 'cause it's going to be raining outdoors

My mamma dead, papa well's1 to be, ain't got nobody to love and care for me
She better come on in my kitchen, 'cause it's going to be raining outdoors
