Come On In My Kitchen
Winter (Johnny) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Woman that I'm lovin'

Got her from my best friend

That joker got lucky

Stole her back again
You better come on in my kitchen

'Cause itÂ's goinÂ' to be raininÂ' outdoors

Baby, now

Woman gets in trouble

Everybody throws her down

Lookin' for good friends

You know they can't be found

Better come on in my kitchen

'Cause itÂ's goinÂ' to be raininÂ' outdoors

Yeah, rain, fall on down, now

Oh, you better come on inside now, yeah

The time in comin'

Well, I know it must be so

Oh, you can't beat the winter, babe

Just drive on slow

You better come on in my kitchen

'Cause, itÂ's goinÂ' to be raininÂ' outdoors





Woh, you know it is

Overall Meaning

In "Come On In My Kitchen," Winter (Johnny) sings about a woman he is in love with who he got from his best friend but was later stolen back. The first verse teases the listener with the idea of a love triangle that gives the song context. The refrain repeats the same line twice, inviting the listener to enter his world, and leaving the listener wondering what kind of world this might be. The last verse changes the tone of the song to become more of a warning to the listener. It is a metaphor of life and impending doom, represented by the winter, which is unstoppable despite one's desire to fight against it.


Winter's song is a cover of Robert Johnson's classic "Come On In My Kitchen." This song is a representation of blues music, which has been a staple of African-American culture in America since the early 20th century. Johnson, who wrote the original version, is one of the most influential blues musicians of all time, and his work has inspired many artists to take up the guitar. The song is simple yet melodic, with lyrics that are easy to sing along to, making it a favorite of blues enthusiasts.

Woman that I'm lovin'
The woman I am in love with


Got her from my best friend
I started a relationship with her after my best friend was with her


That joker got lucky
My best friend was lucky to have her


Stole her back again
My best friend took her away from me


You better come on in my kitchen
You should come inside my house

Everyone turns against her


Lookin' for good friends
When looking for good friends


You know they can't be found
Good friends are hard to come by

The time is coming


Well, I know it must be so
I understand it to be true


Oh, you can't beat the winter, babe
There's nothing you can do about the hard times


Just drive on slow
Keep moving forward, but take it easy


Woh, you know it is
You know it's true
