BIG MACK
June Davis - 1966


Big Mack was a driver of a semi rig from
Denver to the coast of Maine
And every truck driver and highway man well
they all knew big Mack's name
He stepped into a diner by the scales
where he stopped to weigh
Took one look at the waitress there
and we all heard him say
Pour me a piece of coffee pass me
a cup of bread
Why you're the sweetest things that I've ever
seen and there's a ringing in my head
Make my eggs a medium rare over
easy with my steak
I'm gonna buy you a farm in Texas gal if
it takes every sin I make
[ piano ]
Well she stood there a starin' at Big
Mack kind of in a state of shock
She told him when he set his orange juice
down be careful now it's kinda hot
I've already buttered your coffee
the toast is in your cup
Your french fried soup and scrambled
prunes will soon be coming up
She took off her apron grabbed her
coat down off the rack
Took Big Mack's arm and told the boss I'm a
quittin' and I won't be back
She climbed up in that diesel cab both
pipes were a spoutin' smoke
Someone said Big Mack just fell and
this time it ain't no joke
Pour me a piece of
coffee...
