Subject: Charley Patton's 'A Spoonful Blues' From: Andrew S Date: 18 Oct 01 - 08:24 PM I've learned the guitar part to A Spoonful Blues but the words are escaping me. I can get some of the lyrics but not all of them. Can anyone help. Also, I'm wondering about the meaning of the term 'spoonful' the way that charley uses it. What exactly does it mean. |

__________ Note: the triple-dot parts are not missing lyrics, Patton left them unspoken, but then again it's not that hard to fill in the triple dots, is it?; |

It could be a spoonful of diamonds
Men lied about a little ---
It could be a spoonful of coffee
Men lied about that ---
It could be a spoonful of water

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Charley Patton's 'A Spoonful Blues' From: Stewie Date: 18 Oct 01 - 09:43 PM For an extensive discussion of 'Spoonful', see Paul Oliver 'Screening the Blues' Da Capo pp 198-9. Oliver suggests that it refers 'in its full form to sexual intercourse in a standing position, but extends to surreal associations which imply the sexual virtuosity of the singer'. John Fahey's transcription of Patton's version differs in significant respects from that on Harry's blues site given above. For example, the spoken intro is given as: 'Got to brag all about this spoonful'. --Stewie. |
