Lyrics
Mamas Magic Kettle
Verse
It was an ole pressure cooker--mama threw the top away
Twelve kids filled to the top--each and every day
Fresh veggies from the garden--taters, pot roast n sliders
Every Sunday came around--we'd find our kinfolk right beside us
Chorus
Kinfolk came from miles around--we'd say come on in, sit right down
They all loved mamas cooking--and daddy's hospitality
Though we all went back for seconds--we could never find the bottom
Only love n tasty Vidal's-came from mamas magic kettle
Verse
Through the years of want n plenty--that kettle feed us all
Mamas kettle full of magic--made us strong an tall
We were never in despair--there was always something special there
That magic kettle filled us--with mamas, tender loving care
Chorus
Kinfolk came from miles around--we'd say come on in , sit right down
They all loved mamas cookin--and daddy's hospitality
Though we all went back for seconds--we could never find the bottom
Only love n tasty Vidal's--came from mamas magic kettle
Lots of love n tasty Vidal's--in mamas magic kettle
