(Shel Silverstein)
I swear you could taste the chicken and tomatoes
And the noodles and the marrowbone
But it really wasn't nothing but some water and
potatoes
And the wonderful, wonderful soupstone
Hanging from a string in my mama's kitchen, back
in the hard time days
Was a little ol' stone 'bout the size of an
apple, it was smooth and worn and grey
There wasn't much food in my mama's kitchen, so
whenever things got tight
Mama boiled up some water, put in the stone and
said Let's have some soup tonight
And I swear you could taste the chicken and
tomatoes
And the noodles and the marrowbone
But it really wasn't nothing but some water and
potatoes
And the wonderful, wonderful soupstone
It had been in the family for a whole lotta
years, so we knew it was a nourishing thing
And I remember mama, as she stirred it in the
water, and we could all hear her sing
Its a magical stone and as long as we got it,
we'll never have a hungry night
Just add a little love to the wonderful soupstone
and everything will be alright
And I swear you could taste the chicken and
tomatoes
And the noodles and the marrowbone
But it really wasn't nothing but some water and
potatoes
And the wonderful, wonderful soupstone
So it carried us all through the darkening days,
'til finally the sunshine came
And the soupstone started into gathering dust,
but it hung there just the same
And ever since then the food's been plenty, but
every now and then I find
That mama in the kitchen with the wonderful
soupstone, drifts across my mind
And again I can taste the chicken and tomatoes
And the noodles and the marrowbone
But it really wasn't nothing but some water and
potatoes
And the wonderful, wonderful soupstone
And again I can taste the chicken and tomatoes
And the noodles and the marrowbone
But it really wasn't nothing but some water and
potatoes
And the wonderful, wonderful soupstone
