Dolly Parton - Old Black Kettle Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Well I remember when I was just little
  • Mama used to cook on an old black kettle
  • On an old wood stove shed 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 didnt 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 wed go hoe it
  • We might have been poor but we didnt know it
  • Wed heard that word but we didnt know what it meant
  • Oh we used to have such a good life
  • And the days that I knew then are the happiest Ive known
  • And oh didnt we have such a good time
  • Its sad to think the old black kettles 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
  • Wed think of all the games wed play
  • And we just couldnt hardly wait
  • When our city cousins said theyze a comin down
  • Now mamas done away with the old black kettle
  • She used to cook in when I was just little
  • And the door aint sprung on her electric range
  • That little farm and home we had
  • It aint there no more and thats 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 Ive known
  • And oh didnt we have such a good time
  • Its sad to think the old black kettles gone
  • Now, I just mean to say the simple things are gone
  • The old black kettles gone
