I’m feeling 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.
I’m talkin to the shadow One o’clock till four. And 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.
Now man was born to go a loving But was a woman born to weep and fret. And stay at home and tend her oven, And down her past regrets, In coffee and cigarettes.
I’m mooning all the morning Moaning all the night. And in between it’s nicotine And not much heart to fight. Black coffee Feelin’ low as the ground. It’s drivin’ me crazy, This thinkin’ ’bout my baby. Might maybe come around Come around!
