Polly Put The Kettle On - Original - John Lee "Sonny Boy" Williamson

Now oh little Susie

How I love you

Nothin' in the world

Gonna make me wor' you

Polly put the kettle on

Kettle on, kettle on

Polly put the kettle on

All have tea

A-bread an' butter’s good enough

Good enough for anybody

Bread an' butter’s good enough

Good enough for me

Now tell me baby

What you’re tryin' to do?

You tryin' to love me

An some other man, too

I said Polly put the kettle on

Kettle on, kettle on

Polly put the kettle on

All the tea

You know a-bread an' butter’s good enough

Good enough for anybody

Bread an' butter’s good enough

Good enough -'Play, John!'

'Alright, John!'

My baby went out

An stayed out all night long

Tell me baby

What you been waitin' on?

Then, Polly put the kettle on

Kettle on, kettle on

Polly put the kettle on

All the tea

A-bread an' butter’s good enough

Good enough for anybody

Bread an' butter’s good enough

Good enough for me

A-tell me baby

What you think?

A-let me go out

An get another drink

So a-Polly put the kettle on

Kettle on, kettle on

Polly put the kettle on

All the tea

A-bread an' butter’s good enough

Good enough for anybody

Bread an' butter’s good enough

Good enough for me
