Spoonful

Dixon

We could fill a spoon full of coffee
We could fill a spoon full of tea
Well, just a little spoon of your precious love
Is good enough for me.

Men lied about that
Some of 'em cried about that
Some of ' em died about it.
Everything's a-fightin' about the spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoon.

We could fill a spoon full of diamonds
We could fill a spoon full of gold
Well, just a little spoon of your precious love
Will satisfy my soul.

Men lied about that
Some of 'em cried about that
Some of ' em died about it.
Well, everything's a-fightin' about the spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoon.

We could fill a spoon full of water
Oh, save them from the desert sands
Well, just a little spoon of your precious love
Saved you from another man.

Men lied about that
Some of 'em cried about that
Some of ' em died about it.
Well, everybody's fightin' about the spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoon.
