Black Coffee

I'm feelin' mighty lonesome

Haven't slept a wink

I walk the floor from nine to four

In between I drink

Black coffee

Love's a hand-me-down brew

Never know a Sunday

In this weekday rue

I'm talking to the shadow

One o'clock 'till four

And Lord, how slow the moments go

And all I do is pour

Black coffee

Since the blues caught my eye

I'm hangin' out on Monday

My Sunday dreams to dry

They'll is man was born to go a lovin'

And a woman is born to weep and pray

To stay at home and tend her oven

And down her past regrets

In coffee and cigarettes

I'm Moanin' all the mornin'

Moanin' all the night

And in between, it's nicotine

I ain't got no heart to fight it

Black coffee

Feelin' low, low as the ground

It's drivin' me crazy

Waitin' for my baby to maybe come around

Oh, it's drivin' me crazy

Waitin' for my baby to maybe just come by here
