Black Coffee

I'm feeling mighty lonesome

Haven't slept a week

I walk the floor and watch that door

And in between I drink

Black, black, black, black coffee

Since the blues caught my eye

I'm hanging out on Monday

My Sunday, sunday, sunday dreams to dry

I'm talking to the shadows

From one o'clock til four

And Lord, how slow the moments go

When all I do is pour

Black, black coffee

Love's a hand me down brew

I've never know a Sunday

In this weekday, weekday, weekday, weekday room

Now a man is born to go a lovin', 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, cigarettes, cigarettes

I'm moaning all the morning

And mourning all the night

And in between it's nicotine

And not much heart to fight

Black coffee

Feelin' low as the ground

It's driving me crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy

Just waiting for my baby

To someday maybe, someday maybe come around

My nerves have gone to pieces

My hair is turning gray

All I do is drink black coffee

Since my man's gone away

Now a man is born to go a lovin', 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, cigarettes, cigarettes

I'm moaning all the morning

And mourning all the night

And in between it's nicotine

And not much heart to fight

Black coffee

Feelin' low as the ground

It's driving me crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy

Just waiting for my baby

To someday maybe, someday maybe, baby come around

Come around, baby come around

Come around, baby come around

Come around, come around
