Come On In My Kitchen Lyrics
in my kitchen
well, it's goin' to be rainin' outdoors
a woman i know
took my best friend
some joker got lucky
stole her back again
he better come on
in my kitchen
it's goin' to be rainin' outdoors
well she's gone
i know she won't come back
i took the last nickel
out of her nation sack
you better come on
in my kitchen
well, it's goin' to be rainin' outdoors
you can hear it now
in my kitchen
'cause it's goin' to be rainin' outdoors
everybody throws her down
lookin' for a good friend
but none cane be found
in my kitchen
babe it's goin' to be rainin' outdoors
wth...no1 has commented on tis song?!...tis is probally Robert J's best song...besides Sweet Home Chicago...
Why does no one put robert johnson songs on here and why does nobody comment on them. Great song but not his best
Yes, Shawn. This is my favorite of Bob's songs. I don't entirely agree with you corporal. Yes, of course the metaphores were a necessity. But I don't think that he's immitating a woman. But trying to re-entice the local slut, who was with his friend, then with him, & then ran off with another fella. "Come inside 'fore it rains" is his excuse to get her back in his house. She's in trouble with everyone else (maybe for being such a ho) & no one wants to give her sanctuary. She ain't got no more friends. Except Robert , of course.
Crooked Still does a great "watered down" version from a girls perspective, however, none compare to the original "King of the Blues!"
Music back then was much more subtle than today. They couldn't just straight out say: "Cum on into my pussy." They had to be creative and use metaphors. And that was the genius of old time blues musicians like Johnson. For the line "Come on into my kitchen," he immitates a female voice and it's of course a metaphor.
