The Wonderful Soup Stone - Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show[00:00:00]
I swear you could taste the chicken and tomatoes[00:00:01]
And the noodles and the marrowbone[00:00:05]
But it really wasn't nothing but some water and potatoes[00:00:09]
And the wonderful wonderful soupstone[00:00:14]
Hanging from a string in my mama's kitchen[00:00:22]
Back in the hard time days[00:00:26]
Was a little oil stone bout the size of an apple[00:00:30]
It was smooth and worn and grey[00:00:35]
There wasn't much food in my mama's kitchen[00:00:40]
So whenever things got tight[00:00:44]
Mama boiled up some water put in the stone and said[00:00:49]
Let's have some soup tonight[00:00:54]
And I swear you could taste the chicken and tomatoes[00:00:58]
And the noodles and the marrowbone[00:01:02]
But it really wasn't nothing but some water and potatoes[00:01:07]
And the wonderful wonderful soupstone[00:01:11]
It had been in the family for a whole lotta years[00:01:16]
So we knew it was a nourishing thing[00:01:21]
And I remember mama as she stirred it in the water[00:01:25]
And we could all hear her sing[00:01:30]
It's a magical stone and as long as we got it[00:01:35]
We'll never have a hungry night[00:01:39]
Just add a little love to the wonderful soupstone[00:01:44]
And everything will be alright[00:01:48]
And I swear you could taste the chicken and tomatoes[00:01:53]
And the noodles and the marrowbone[00:01:57]
But it really wasn't nothing but some water and potatoes[00:02:02]
And the wonderful wonderful soupstone[00:02:07]
So it carried us all through the darkening days[00:02:14]
Til finally the sunshine came[00:02:18]
And the soupstone started into gathering dust[00:02:23]
But it hung there just the same[00:02:27]
And ever since then the food's been plenty[00:02:32]
But every now and then I find[00:02:37]
That mama in the kitchen with the wonderful soupstone[00:02:41]
Drifts across my mind[00:02:47]
And again I can taste the chicken and tomatoes[00:02:50]
And the noodles and the marrowbone[00:02:55]
But it really wasn't nothing but some water and potatoes[00:02:59]
And the wonderful wonderful soupstone[00:03:04]
And again I can taste the chicken and tomatoes[00:03:09]
And the noodles and the marrowbone[00:03:13]
But it really wasn't nothing but some water and potatoes[00:03:18]
And the wonderful wonderful soupstone[00:03:22]
