《The Wonderful Soup Stone》歌词

[00:00:00] The Wonderful Soup Stone - Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show

[00:00:01] I swear you could taste the chicken and tomatoes

[00:00:05] And the noodles and the marrowbone

[00:00:09] But it really wasn't nothing but some water and potatoes

[00:00:14] And the wonderful wonderful soupstone

[00:00:22] Hanging from a string in my mama's kitchen

[00:00:26] Back in the hard time days

[00:00:30] Was a little oil stone bout the size of an apple

[00:00:35] It was smooth and worn and grey

[00:00:40] There wasn't much food in my mama's kitchen

[00:00:44] So whenever things got tight

[00:00:49] Mama boiled up some water put in the stone and said

[00:00:54] Let's have some soup tonight

[00:00:58] And I swear you could taste the chicken and tomatoes

[00:01:02] And the noodles and the marrowbone

[00:01:07] But it really wasn't nothing but some water and potatoes

[00:01:11] And the wonderful wonderful soupstone

[00:01:16] It had been in the family for a whole lotta years

[00:01:21] So we knew it was a nourishing thing

[00:01:25] And I remember mama as she stirred it in the water

[00:01:30] And we could all hear her sing

[00:01:35] It's a magical stone and as long as we got it

[00:01:39] We'll never have a hungry night

[00:01:44] Just add a little love to the wonderful soupstone

[00:01:48] And everything will be alright

[00:01:53] And I swear you could taste the chicken and tomatoes

[00:01:57] And the noodles and the marrowbone

[00:02:02] But it really wasn't nothing but some water and potatoes

[00:02:07] And the wonderful wonderful soupstone

[00:02:14] So it carried us all through the darkening days

[00:02:18] Til finally the sunshine came

[00:02:23] And the soupstone started into gathering dust

[00:02:27] But it hung there just the same

[00:02:32] And ever since then the food's been plenty

[00:02:37] But every now and then I find

[00:02:41] That mama in the kitchen with the wonderful soupstone

[00:02:47] Drifts across my mind

[00:02:50] And again I can taste the chicken and tomatoes

[00:02:55] And the noodles and the marrowbone

[00:02:59] But it really wasn't nothing but some water and potatoes

[00:03:04] And the wonderful wonderful soupstone

[00:03:09] And again I can taste the chicken and tomatoes

[00:03:13] And the noodles and the marrowbone

[00:03:18] But it really wasn't nothing but some water and potatoes

[00:03:22] And the wonderful wonderful soupstone
