Lyrics
Kettle On Your Fire
Well I just decided, I'm gonna take myself a trip.
Sold all my belongings, just kept my leather grip.
I had to get away, I just came by to say.
I hope you get along OK...I see a kettle on you fire.
I probably do desire To have some tea with you...before I go.
It's a long road I'm going on.
Won't be back before the summer's gone.
I see a kettle on your fire I probably do desire...
To have some tea with you...before I go.
I'm going off in the woods, gonna find myself a home.
Get away from folks, won't leave myself alone.
I wish that you could go,
But, of course I know...Responsibilities at home.
I see a kettle on your fire, I probably do desire...
To have some tea with you...Before I go...
It's a long road I'm going on...
Won't be back before the summers gone,
I see a kettle on your fire, I probably do desire
To have some tea with you before I go.
Repeat verse one with second part of verse 2.
