Black Coffee
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Sal’s in the kitchen
Been there all night long
Nursing that whiskey
Humming the devil’s songs
Drinking black coffee
All night long
Lord knows you’re sober
By the crack of dawn
No peace in the valley
No Sun on the shores
No planes in the sky
It must be another way
Drinking black coffee
To get me through
Ain’t got no sugar
Miss Sally ain’t got none too
Head will be an aching
A buzzing in my ear
Hands are shaking
Lord it’s been a year
Drinking black coffee
To keep me warm
It keeps me company
Since my babes been gone
Hot as fire
Black as crow
Gonna fill my cup
Nice and slow
Black coffee
Nothing else will do
Gonna drink it down
That bitter brew
