William Reedy: Music

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)

The song of an old woman who learned to cook as a little girl.

Kitchen Door Blues

I’m gonna make some rice and beans
With some cornbread and some greens
I’m gonna fry some chicken too
You’ll be hungry when I do
It won’t be too long before
You’re hanging ‘round my kitchen door


Went to a store right up the street
Came home with some boiling meat
Put it in the pot and cooked it down
You could smell it all over town
So it wasn’t long before
You knocked on my kitchen door

Cook you a ham with scalloped potatoes
Salad with lettuce and tomatoes
And one day before I die
Bake you a sweet potato pie
Be sure to wipe your feet before
You come in my kitchen door
