lyrics
Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-
The man I love, took from my best friend
Some joker got lucky, stole her back again
You better come on in my kitchen
It's goin' to be rainin' outdoors

Oh, he's gone, I know he won't come back
I've taken the last nickel out of her nation sack
You better come on in my kitchen
It's goin' to be rainin' outdoors

When a woman gets in trouble, everybody throws her down
Lookin' for her good friend, none can be found

You better come on in my kitchen
Babe, it's goin' to be rainin' outdoors

Wintertime's comin', it's gon' be slow
You can't make the winter, babe, that's dry, long, so
You better come on in my kitchen, 'cause it's goin' to be rainin' outdoors.

Come On In My Kitchen

Sometimes songs arrive out of nowhere — this one came through Carlos, who urged us into the world of Blind Willie McTell. His 12-string voice of the Piedmont blues shaped legends like Dylan, who paid tribute with ‘Blind Willie McTell.’ Our take on McTell’s 1933 recording East St. Louis Blues connects that lineage with our own name, Choca Blues — honoring resilience, roots, and the heart of the blues.
