Black Coffee

I'm feelin' mighty lonesome
Haven't slept a wink
I walk the floor and watch the door
And In between I drink
Black coffee
Love's a hand-me-down brew
I'll never know a Sunday
In this weekday rue

I'm talkin' to the shadow
One o'clock to 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

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

I'm moanin' all the mornin'
Moanin' 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 waitin' for my baby
To maybe come around
Black Coffee
