It could be a spoonful of diamonds Could be a spoonful of gold Just a little spoon of your precious love Satisfies my soul Men lies about little Some of them cries about little Some of them dies about little Everything fight about little spoonful That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful It could be a spoonful of coffee Could be a spoonful of tea But a little spoon of your precious love Good enough for me Men lies about that Some of them dies about that Some of them cries about that But everything fight about that spoonful That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful It could be a spoonful of water Saved from the deserts sand But one spoon of them fortifies Save you from another man Men lies about that Some of them cries about that Some of them dies about that Everybody fightin' about that spoonful That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful

A canção foi escrita por Willie Dixon e gravada pela primeira vez por Howlin' Wolf em 1960
Sua estrutura harmônica utiliza apenas um acorde, uma característica modal compartilhada com outros clássicos como "Wang Dang Doodle" e "Back Door Man"
A letra emprega "a spoonful" como metáfora para prazeres diversos, incluindo sexo, amor ou drogas, refletindo a busca masculina para satisfazer seus desejos
A gravação contou com a participação de Hubert Sumlin na guitarra principal e Freddie Robinson na segunda guitarra
Musicalmente, a música alterna entre seções vocais de oito barras e refrões de doze barras, sendo executada em tempo médio de blues na tonalidade de Mi
