It could fill spoons full of diamond
Could fill spoons full of gold
Just a little spoon of your precious love
Satisfy my soul
Men lied about them
Some of them cried about them
Some of them died about them
Everything a-fightin' about the spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
It could fill spoon full of coffee
Could fill spoon full of tea
But a little spoon of your precious love
Could have enough for me
Men lied about them
Some of them died about them
Some of them cried about them
But everything fightin' about the spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that-
Fightin' 'bout a spoonful
Fightin' 'bout a spoonful
It could fill spoons full of water
Save you from the desert sand
But one spoon of little 45
Save you from another man
Men lied about them
Some of them cried about them
Some of them died about them
Everybody fightin' about the spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that-
