Don’t Forget The Coffee Billy Joe Lyrics

Don’t Forget The Coffee Billy Joe lyrics

It snowed the night before and it had frozen on the ground we didn’t have a car
and we lived seven miles from town and I can hear my daddy’s voice so many
years ago saying, "don’t forget th
Fee billy joe."
"mama needs her medicine, she’s got that real bad cough we’ll get our
check on monday, tell ol’ sam we’ll pay him off you can catch a ride when you
get to the black-top road don’t forget the coffee billy joe"

Me and quentin went back on the hill and we cut some wood burnin’ in that ol’
warm mornin’ stove it sure smelled good daddy couldn’t get work then and I was
just a child and God was on vacation for awhile

"well, if you see fred you tell him I’ll come help him kill them hogs and
ask him if he’d still be interested in my dogs don’t hang around that pool room
all day, we might get more snow and don’t forget the coffee billy joe"

Well, they wonder why there ain’t no rabbits left this day and time to tell the
truth I guess we ate ’em all in ’49 was that yesterday or was it over 20 years
ago "don’t forget the coffee billy joe"

"mama needs her medicine, she’s got that real bad cough we’ll get our
check on monday tell ol’ sam we’ll pay him off you can catch a ride when you
get to the black-top road don’t forget the coffee billy joe (now pay attention,
son) don’t forget the coffee billy joe"
