Por mucho tiempo, más de un incauto, se pensaba que esta canción era del grupo inglés Cream ya que la edito en 1966 y loa llevaron a la fama inmediatamente, la realidad dicta otra cosa. La versión esta escrita por el Contrabajista Willie Dixon para que fuera grabada por Howlin´ Wolf en 1960 para el sello Chess Records.
Este tema esta basado en una adaptación libre del tema "A Spoonful Blues" de Charley Patton que lo grabo 1929, que a su vez esta inspirado en el tema " Cocaine Blues ", de Lucas Jordán del año grabado en 1925.

Spoonful
It could be a spoonful of coffee
it could be a spoonful of tea
but one little spoon of your precious love
is good enough for me
Men lie about that spoonful
some cry about that spoonful
some die about that spoonful
everybody fight about a spoonful
that spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
It could be a spoonful of water
to save you from the desert sand
but one spoon of love1 from my forty-five
will save you from another man
men lie about that spoonful
some cry about that spoonful
some die about that spoonful
everybody fight about a spoonful
that spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
that spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
It could be a spoonful of sugar
it could be a spoonful of tea
but one little spoon of your precious love
is good enough for me
men lie about that spoonful
some cry about that spoonful
some die about that spoonful
everybody fight about a spoonful
that spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
that spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
that spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
that spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
