Old Black Kettle - Dolly Parton (多莉·帕顿)[00:00:00]

Well I remember when I was just little[00:00:10]

Mama used to cook on an old black kettle[00:00:12]

On an old wood stove she'd had since she was wed[00:00:14]

Well the oven door was sprung a little bit[00:00:19]

So we propped it up with a forked stick[00:00:21]

But that didn't matter cause mama kept us fed[00:00:23]

My mama and daddy must have loved each other[00:00:28]

Cause I had eleven sisters and brothers[00:00:30]

And the girls worked just as hard as the boys did[00:00:33]

There was corn to hoe then we'd go hoe it[00:00:37]

We might have been poor but we didn't know it[00:00:40]

We'd heard that word but we didn't know what it meant[00:00:42]

Oh we used to have such a good life[00:00:47]

And the days that I knew then are the happiest I've known[00:00:51]

And oh didn't we have such a good time[00:00:57]

It's sad to think the old black kettle's gone[00:01:02]

Well there was nothing that pleased us any better[00:01:16]

Than when we got an occasional letter[00:01:18]

From kin folks living up north in some big town[00:01:20]

We'd think of all the games we'd play[00:01:25]

And we just couldn't hardly wait[00:01:27]

When our city cousins said they're a coming down[00:01:29]

Now mama's done away with the old black kettle[00:01:34]

She used to cook in when I was just little[00:01:36]

And the door ain't sprung on her electric range[00:01:39]

That little farm and home we had[00:01:43]

It ain't there no more and that's too bad[00:01:45]

Folks are doing away with the simple things[00:01:48]

And oh we used to have such a good life[00:01:53]

And the days that I knew then are the happiest I've known[00:01:57]

And oh didn't we have such a good time[00:02:03]

It's sad to think the old black kettle's gone[00:02:07]

Now I just mean to say the simple things are gone[00:02:16]

The old black kettle's gone[00:02:22]
