Ella Fitzgerald Black Coffee Lyrics

Black Coffee Lyrics

I`m feeling 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 room

I`m talking to the shadows
1 o`clock to 4
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 dream`s too dry

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
Mourning all the night
And in between it`s nicotine
And not much hard to fight
Black Coffee
Feelin` 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`s gone away
