Black Coffee (Remastered 2020)

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

I'll never know a Sunday

In this weekday room

Then talkin' to the shadow

One o'clock till four

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

You know a man is born to love a woman

To work and slave to pay her debts

Just because he's only human

To drown his past regrets in coffee and cigarettes

I'm moonin' all the mornin'

Moanin' all the night

In between it's nicotine

Not much heart to fight

Black coffee

Feelin' low as the ground

I'm waitin' for my baby

To maybe come around

Gonna drown my past regrets

In some coffee and a few cigarettes

I'm moonin' all the mornin'

Moanin' all the night

In between it's nicotine

And not much heart to fight

Black coffee

Feelin' low as the ground'

It's driving me crazy just waitin' for my baby

To maybe come around

Please come around

Please come
