mary's kitchen

can't blame a thief for stealin' wallets

that's just what they do

can't blame mary for stealin' hearts

when you taste her barbecue

she got a brisket nice and tender

best you'll ever try

way she cooks so nice and slow

will leave you satisfied

kansas city to memphis town

arkansas on down

come on into mary's kitchen

if you want your sausage ground

she got a sign on her front porch saying

hot stuff for sale"
