Country Cookin'

(アルバム： A Legend In My Time - 1975)

Folks all love that country cooking
From California to Maine to Tennessee
Folks all love that country cooking
Country cookin's the only kind for me

Now way back in the country where I was raised up
Mama used to take the herbs and things and mix 'em up
Always cook up something good
Well down here in Music City
Pickers and singers been cooking up their own recipe for a long time
And since me and the boys and a few girls are in here cutting this record today
We thought we'd explain it to ya

Now ya gotta have a big iron pot
And you take three tablespoons of flat back honking down home guitars

Aha alright yeah

Now we're gonna add one and three fourths cups of slapping bass
Go on slap it Joe

Now to this we add two pounds of fatback drums
Alright now I got this big ol' stick over here
I'm gonna stir it make sure it's coming along alright y'all don't mind
(Go ahead on)

Now we're gonna add two slabs of salted down smokehouse piano right here
Yeah mercy mercy it's getting good
It still don't taste quite right we gotta add something else
I think we need a dash of hot boiling steel

And right here I'm gonna add a handful of five-string banjo
Right here

Wait a minute I've got something else
We're gonna add a hunk of choice lean voices to it right here

Alright and how about an acre of fiddles
Hey alright

Now I'm gonna take all of this and put it over a hot hickory fire
And we're gonna let it cook
Burn I mean burn
Cook
A-eee

Folks all love that country cooking...
Everybody
Folks all love that country cooking...
Lord have mercy
