Black Coffee Lyrics
by Peggy Lee
#9 #9
I'm feelin' mighty lonesome
#9 #9
Haven't slept a wink
#9 #9
I walk the floor and watch the door
#9 #9
And in between I drink
Black coffee
Love's a hand-me-down brew
I'll never know a Sunday
b9#5 #9
In this weekday rule
#9 #9
I'm talkin' to the shadow
#9 #9
One o'clock till four
#9 #9
And Lord, how slow the moments go
#9 #9
And all I do is pour
Black coffee
#9 #9 #b9b5
Since the blues caught my eye
I'm hangin' out on Monday
b9#5 #9
My Sunday dreams to dry
Now man was born to go a lovin'
#5
But was a woman born to weep and fret
To stay at home and tend her oven
And drown her past regrets
In coffee and cigarettes
#9 #9
I'm moonin' all the mornin'
#9 #9
Moanin' all the night
#9 #9
And in between it's nicotine
#9 #9
And not much heart to fight
Black coffee
#9 #9
Feelin' low as the ground
#9 b9b5
It's drivin' me crazy
This waitin' for my baby
b9#5 #9 #9 #9
To maybe come around
