Lyrics Kitchen Man - Bessie Smith
Madam
Buff's
was
quite
deluxe
Servants
by
the
score
Footmen
at
each
door
Butlers
and
maids
galore
But
one
day
Sam,
her
kitchen
man
Gave
in
his
notice,
he's
through
She
cried,
"Oh
Sam,
don't
go
It'll
grieve
me
if
you
do"
I
love
his
cabbage
gravy,
his
hash
Crazy
about
his
succotash
I
can't
do
without
my
kitchen
man
Wild
about
his
turnip
top
Like
the
way
he
warms
my
chop
I
can't
do
without
my
kitchen
man
Anybody
else
can
leave
And
I
would
only
laugh
But
he
means
too
much
to
me
And
you
ain't
heard
the
half
Oh,
his
jelly
roll
is
so
nice
and
hot
Never
fails
to
touch
the
spot
I
can't
do
without
my
kitchen
man
His
frankfurters
are
oh,
so
sweet
How
I
like
his
sausage
meat
I
can't
do
without
my
kitchen
man
Oh,
how
that
boy
can
open
clam
No
one
else
is
can
touch
my
ham
I
can't
do
without
my
kitchen
man
When
I
eat
his
doughnuts
All
I
leave
is
the
hole
Any
time
he
wants
to
Why,
he
can
use
my
sugar
bowl
Oh,
his
baloney's
really
worth
a
try
Never
fails
to
satisfy
I
can't
do
without
my
kitchen
man
