Black Coffee

I'm feeling mighty lonesome
I haven't slept a wink
I walk the floor and watch the door
And in between I drink

Black coffee
Loves a hand-me-down brew
I'll never know Sunday
In this weekday room

I'm talking to the shadows
One o'clock to four
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 is born to go a-lovin'
And a woman's born to weep and fret
To stay at home and tend her oven
And drown her past regrets
In coffee and cigarettes

Oh I'm moody all the morning
I'm mourning all the night
And in between it's nicotine
And not much hard to fight

Black coffee
Feeling low as the ground
It's driving me crazy
Just waiting for my baby
To maybe come around

Now a man is born to go a-lovin'
A woman's born to weep and fret
To stay at home and tend her oven
And drown her past regrets
In coffee and cigarettes

I'm moody all the morning
I'm mourning all the night
And in between it's nicotine
And not much hard to fight

Black coffee
Feeling low as the ground
It's driving me crazy
Just waiting for my baby
To maybe come around

My nerves have gone to pieces
My hair is turning gray
All I do is drink black coffee
Since my man has gone away
