Spoonful
by 
Willie Dixon 
recording of 1962 
from 
The Rocking Chair (Vogue 600111) 
It could be a 
spoonful 
of diamonds 
Could be a spoonful of gold 
Just a little spoon of your precious love 
Satisfies my soul 
Men lies about little 
Some of them cries about little 
Some of them dies about little 
Everything fight about little spoonful 
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful 
It could be a spoonful of coffee 
Could be a spoonful of tea 
But a little spoon of your precious love 
Good enough for me 
Men lies about that 
Some of them dies about that 
Some of them cries about that 
But everything fight about that spoonful 
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful 
It could be a spoonful of water 
Saved from the deserts sand 
But one spoon of them fortifies 
Save you from another man 
Men lies about that 
Some of them cries about that 
Some of them dies about that 
Everybody fightin' about that spoonful 
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
