Favorite song lyrics

RE: Favorite song lyrics
In its early iteration, "Come on in my kitchen" was performed by the women of Blues, but was quickly adopted by notable blues men like Robert Johnson. It's a standard to this day. My favorite version is by Chris Thomas King, which these lyrics come from.

I love this song, because, to me, it takes the unavoidable longing to be loved, had, and accompanied, and takes a utilitarian approach to that end. "Look, we've both been shitty, and we might not love each other, but we don't have any other choice."

Quote:You'd better come on in my kitchen
Babe it going to be rainin outdoors

Ah the woman i love
Took from my best friend
Some joker got lucky
Stole her back again

You'd better come on in my kitchen
Babe it going to be rainin outdoors

Oh-ah she's gone
I know she won't come back again
I've taken the last nickel
Out of her nation sack

You'd better come on in my kitchen
Babe it going to be rainin outdoors

When a woman gets in trouble
Everybody throws her down
Lookin for her good friend
None can be found

You'd better come on in my kitchen
Babe it going to be rainin outdoors

Winter time's comin
Its gonna be slow
You can't make the winter babe
Thats dry long so

You'd better come on in my kitchen
Babe it going to be rainin outdoors
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:

"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."

For context, this is the previous verse:

"Hi Jesus" -robvalue
