"Cookin' With D'Redbone" lyrics

"Cookin' With D'Redbone"

Now it's a, homegrown, natural-born
Comes on heavy when you need it, uh-huh
Swing it low, don't let it go
You sing between the groove below it

Cooking with the Redbone (cooking-cooking)
And a, whoo-yeah, Lord, you know it's homegrown (homegrown)
Cooking with the Redbone (cooking-cooking)
And a, whoo-yeah, Lord, you know it's homegrown (homegrown)
Cookin', cookin', cookin', cookin'

It's outside, a musical delight
Open in the middle to the bottom uw-huh
For a time, lower your head
I form a like before you know it

Cooking with the Redbone (cooking-cooking)
And a, whoo-yeah, Lord, you know it's homegrown (homegrown)
Cooking with the Redbone (cooking-cooking)
And a, whoo-yeah, Lord, you know it's homegrown (homegrown)
Cookin', cookin', cookin', cookin'

The bone tone, cultural moan
Bread and gravy, hate the piggy, uh-huh
Me and you, let's follow on through
The other side of life you lived on

Cooking with the Redbone (cooking-cooking)
And a, whoo-yeah, Lord, you know it's homegrown (homegrown)
Cooking with the Redbone (cooking-cooking)
And a, whoo-yeah, Lord, you know it's homegrown (homegrown)
Cookin', cookin', cookin', cookin'

It's a, homegrown, natural-born
Comes on heavy when you need it, uh-huh
Swing it low, don't let it go
You sing between the groove below it

Cooking with the Redbone (cooking-cooking)
And a, whoo-yeah, Lord, you know it's homegrown (homegrown)
Cooking with the Redbone (cooking-cooking)
And whoo-yeah, Lord, you know it's homegrown (homegrown)
Cookin', cookin', cookin', cookin'

I said a humpback (cookin', cookin')
A humpback whale
I said a humpback (cookin', cookin')
Humpback whale
I said a humpback (cookin', cookin')
Humpback whale
I said a humpback (cookin', cookin')
Humpback whale

I say you go up on a mountain (cookin', cookin', cookin')
And then you do the badum (cookin', cookin', cookin')
I said you do it all up (cookin', cookin', cookin')
I know you need to feel good (cookin', cookin', cookin')
I said, make ya feel good (cookin', cookin', cookin')
Like you knew it would (cookin', cookin', cookin')

I said a humpback, humpback whale
I said, da-da, ha, get on down
I said, keep goin' on, yeah, ba-ba-ba
I said a, a humpback, ba-ba-ba, whale
I said a, ba-ba, a humpback whale
I said
