Lyrics

I'm feelin' mighty lonesome
Haven't slept a wink
I walk the floor and watch the door
And in between I drink black coffee
Love's a hand-me-down blues
I'll never know a Sunday
In this weekday room
I'm talkin' to the shadows
One o'clock 'til four
And Lord, how slow the moments go
When all I do is pour black coffee
Feelin' low as the ground
I know where all the blues are
'Cause I've been down
A man was born to go a-lovin'
A woman's born to weep and fret
And stay at home and tend her oven
And drown her past regrets in coffee and cigarettes
I'm moonin' all the mornin'
Mournin' all the night
And in between it's nicotine
And not much heart to fight black coffee
Feelin' low as the ground
It's drivin' me crazy
This waitin' for my baby
To come home to me
Would you please come home?
Written by: Paul Francis Webster, Sonny Burke
