All I want is black bean soup And you to make it with me Honey won't you Be my love while love will stay And wear your ribbons for me Boil those black beans, honey Mash them up real well One big soft tomato Just a handful of sorrel, well Cut up your chilly pepper Squeeze that garlic smell One mouthful of drippings A granddaddy onion and well, well, well All I want is black bean soup And you to make it with me Honey won't you Be my love while love will stay And wear your ribbons for me Well I've been kicked in the head a few times But that just made me high I believe in the good things now You know black bean soup don't lie, lie, lie... All I want is black bean soup And you to make it with me Honey won't you Be my love while love will stay And wear your ribbons for me
