Delbert McClinton - Spoonful Lyrics
Well, it could be a spoonful of diamonds
Could be a spoonful of gold
One little spoon of my baby's love
Satisfy my soul
Could be a spoonful of tea
Just a little spoon of my baby's love
Good enough for me
They lied about that spoonful
And they cried about a spoonful
Everybody die by the spoonful
Spoon, that spoonful
That spoon
That spoonful
Well, now, could be a spoonful of water
Saved from the desert sand
Spoonful of lead from a forty-five
Saved you from another man
They lie about that spoonful
Cry about a spoonful
Everybody dies by the spoonful
Spoon, a little spoonful
That spoon
That spoon
That spoonful
Yeah, it could be a spoonful of pleasure
Could be a spoonful of blood
Could be a spoonful of anything you need
That you can't seem to get enough of
They lie about a spoonful
They cry about a spoonful
People they die by the spoonful
Spoon, a little spoonful

Delbert McClinton Spoonful Comments
Writer: Willie Dixon
It could be a spoonful of coffee
It could be a spoonful a-tea
But one little spoon
Of your precious love
Is good enough for me
Men lie about that spoonful
Some cry about that spoonful
Some die about that spoonful
Ev'rybody fight about a spoonful
That spoon, that spoon
That spoonful
(guitar & instrumental)
It could be a spoonful a-water
To save you from the desert sand
But one spoon of lead
From my forty-five
Will save you from another man
Men lie-ii about that spoonful
Some cry-ii about that spoonful
Some die-ii about that spoonful
Ev'rybody fight about a spoonful
That spoon, that spoon
That spoonful
That spoon, that spoon
That spoonful
(guitar & instrumental)
(piano & instrumental)
It could be a spoonful a-sugar
It could be a spoonful a-tea
But one little spoon
Of your precious love
Is good enough for me-ee
Men lie-ii about that spoonful
Some cry-ii about that spoonful
Some die-ii about that spoonful
Ev'rybody fight about a spoonful
That spoon, that spoon
That spoonful
A-that spoon, that spoon
That spoonful
That spoon, that spoon
That spoonful
That spoon, that spoon
That spoonful
Delbert is one of the most under-rated writers and singers of our lifetime. Interesting this LP was cast with Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section David Hood, Roger Hawkins, Jimmy Johnson and Barry Beckett with lead guitar guest John Hug. Stereo Review magazine wrote that Hug did things on this LP that are illegal in the US and Canada (guess that's a good thing).
its great you have the song but the slide show is just....Blah, i would have been happier with a plain black screen.
Thanks for posting this, Ive been looking for it for years!!
It takes me back to the "Love Rustler" days and this, I believe is off of 2nd wind..Isn't that so?
Everybody cries bout a spoonful, that spoonfull........
I have also been searching for this for years! I was amazed to find it today! Yayyy!!Im not sure what album..but I never had "2nd wind"...It could be another unless it was on a Greatest hits album....This just made my day!!
Great work here, always enjoy your Creative videos...you Rock!
