Lyrics Don't Forget the Coffee Billy Joe - Tom T. Hall
It
snowed
the
night
before
and
it
had
frozen
on
the
ground
We
didn't
have
a
car
and
we
lived
seven
miles
from
town
And
I
can
hear
my
daddy's
voice,
so
many
years
ago
Saying
"Don't
forget
the
coffee
Billy
Joe
Mama
needs
her
medicine,
she's
got
that
real
bad
cough
We'll
get
our
check
on
Monday,
tell
ol'
Sam
we'll
pay
him
off
You
can
catch
a
ride
when
you
get
to
the
black-top
road
Don't
forget
the
coffee
Billy
Joe"
Me
and
Quentin
went
back
on
the
hill
and
we
cut
some
wood
Burnin'
in
that
ol'
warm
mornin'
stove
it
sure
smelled
good
Daddy
couldn't
get
work
then
and
I
was
just
a
child
And
God
was
on
vacation
for
awhile
"Well,
if
you
see
Fred
you
tell
him
I'll
come
help
him
kill
them
hogs
And
ask
him
if
he'd
still
be
interested
in
my
dogs
Don't
hang
around
that
pool
room
all
day,
we
might
get
more
snow
And
don't
forget
the
coffee
Billy
Joe"
Well,
they
wonder
why
there
ain't
no
rabbits
left
this
day
and
time
To
tell
the
truth
I
guess
we
ate
'em
all
in
'49
Was
that
yesterday
or
was
it
over
20
years
ago
"Don't
forget
the
coffee
Billy
Joe"
"Mama
needs
her
medicine,
she's
got
that
real
bad
cough
We'll
get
our
check
on
Monday
tell
ol'
Sam
we'll
pay
him
off
You
can
catch
a
ride
when
you
get
to
the
black-top
road
Don't
forget
the
coffee
Billy
Joe
Now
pay
attention,
son
Don't
forget
the
coffee
Billy
Joe"
