Give Me That Kettle Of Beans

Instrumental Intro

Chorus

Give me that kettle of beans

Pot liquor dripping down my chin

Hot beans

Sweet beans

Baked until they make me grin

Give me that kettle of beans

Verse 1

Sunday sunrise boiling in the pan

Fat slab of bacon on the side

Ladling plenty for a hungry man

Deep in the bowl they hide

Cumin and salt and smoke

Never a meal for the wealthy folk

Pre-Chorus

Stir it up

Spoon it down

Watch me pass through this dusty town

Chorus

Give me that kettle of beans

Pot liquor dripping down my chin

Hot beans

Sweet beans

Baked until they make me grin

Give me that kettle of beans

Post-Chorus

Eat them all

Eat them all

(Ooh ooh)

Verse 2

Snappy sausages sizzling in the pot

Spicy links and savory skin

Tied up tight with a sailors knot

Let the feast begin

Thick brown gravy or a thin red broth

Bubbling up with a little white froth

Pre-Chorus

Stir it up

Spoon it down

Watch me pass through this dusty town

Chorus

Give me that kettle of beans

Pot liquor dripping down my chin

Hot beans

Sweet beans

Baked until they make me grin

Give me that kettle of beans

Bridge

Kidney beans

Lima beans

Navy beans

I love them all

Post-Chorus

Eat them all

Eat them all

(Ooh ooh)

Chorus

Give me that kettle of beans

Pot liquor dripping down my chin

Hot beans

Sweet beans

Baked until they make me grin

Give me that kettle of beans
