lyrics

Come On In My Kitchen (Robert Johnson)

The woman I love, took from my best friend.
Some joker got lucky stole her back again.
You better come on in my kitchen,
‘Cause it’s goin’ to be raining outdoors.

Well, she’s gone. I know she won’t come back:
I’ve taken her last nickel out of her’nation sack.
You better come on in my kitchen,
‘Cause it’s goin’ to be ______ outdoors.

When a woman gets in trouble, everybody throws her down:
Lookin’ for a good friend; one can’t be found.
You better come on in my kitchen,
‘Cause it’s goin’ to be raining outdoors.

[Can’t you hear that wind hollerin’]

[Come listen to that wind outside…]

You better come on in my kitchen,
‘Cause it’s goin’ to be raining outdoors.

Winter time is comin’, it’s gon’ be snow.
You can’t make the winter, babe, just drivin’ on so:
You better come on in my kitchen,
‘Cause it’s goin’ to be raining outdoors.
