I'm feeling mighty lonesome Haven't slept a wink I walk the floor from 9 to 4 And in between I drink Black coffee Love's a hand me down brew I'll never know a Sunday In this weekday room
I'm talking to the shadows from 1 o'clock til 4 And lord, how slow the moments go When all I do is pour Black coffee Since the blues caught my eye I'm hanging out on Monday My Sunday dreams to dry
Now a man was born to go lovin' But was a woman born to weep and fret And stay home tend her oven And drown her past regrets In coffee and 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 just taken by my baby My baby come around...
