COFFEE COFFEE COFFEE
(Tom T. Hall)

Dave Dudley - 1965




Some men drink alcohol
Some men drink juices from the vine
But as for me, I'm very simple
Give me coffee ev'ry time

Make it warm and make it sweet
Just the way my life has been
Give me coffee, coffee, coffee, coffee, coffee
And let me tell you, you have found yourself a friend

Cincinnati, early in the mornin'
A-waitin' on an old Greyhound
Oh, Macon Georgia right around noon-time
Aah, bring that coffee pot around

Make it hot, make it now
Put a little cream and sugar in
Give me coffee, coffee, coffee, coffee, coffee
And you have absolutely found yourself a friend

A cup o' china, a silver spoon
Cream out of a golden can
See that pot, aah, it's perklin' And it's just like music from a band

These old bones are tired and weary
But, man, you can perk 'em up again
Give me coffee, coffee, coffee, coffee, coffee
I guarantee that you have found yourself a friend
Yessir, you have found yourself a friend
I guarantee that you have found yourself a friend
Uuummmm, you got yourself a friend
