Thanks for the tip, Roger.
According to AMG, Papa Charlie Jackson's version, called ALL I WANT IS A SPOONFUL, appears on the collection "Complete Recorded Works, Vol. 1: (1924-1926)," Document CD 5087, and on "Bill Wyman's Blues Odyssey Vol. 1." A sound sample at Barnes & Noble yielded these words:
...fall There ain't no one woman got it all 'Cause all I want, all I crave, is just a spoonful, spoonful.
You can mate a woman that you can't understand But she lookin' for you out of (?) a monkey-man. 'Cause all I want, all I crave, is just a spoonful, spoonful.
