Cowboy Coffee

The first thing that one does when you wake before the sun does

Get the fire going

Won't be long till you feel the heat find a spot and take a seat

Till the coals start glowing

Then pull out the granite pot poor old thing's been used a lot

Don't look like much but just you wait and see

Pour some grounds from a leather poke add a little taste of old wood smoke

Man that's cowboy coffee

Every day we all get up find our favorite old tin cup

Pour a taste of heaven

Plenty grub for all the crew throw'er down with a cup or two

Saddle up by seven

Head on out there's work to do ropin' ridin' brandin' too

Every day's as tough as it can be

Chasin' strays and hangin' wire work all day and you still ain't tired

Man that's cowboy coffee

Don't ask those boys bout latte

Cowboy coffee comes just one way

Strong enough to make you stand up straight

And talk about flavor now just you wait

After suppertime is done still got time for a little fun

Take it slow and easy

Sittin' around the fireside singin' songs and tellin' lies

One more pot of coffee

Then some young buck starts to nag Joe go on to your saddle bag

Pull out that bottle everybody's seen

Pour in some of that ninety-proof warm us up down to our boots

Man that's cowboy coffee man that's cowboy coffee
