I want some black coffee here, mama.
Please bring it in my favorite cup
I want some black coffee, mama.
Please bring it in my favorite cup
I been down so long,
I might never get up.
I want you to dance with me, baby.
Slow drag me, honey, cross this floor
I want you to dance with me, baby
Slow drag me, mama, across this floor
I feel like doing something, something
That I never done before
If you see the rent man
Tell him that I moved next door
If you see the tax man
Tell him i don't live here no more
I want some black coffee here, mama
Please bring it in my favorite cup
I been down so long, so long
I might never get up
They repossessed my toothbrush
Stole the comb right of my hair
Took away my bathroom mirror
And they left me standing there
I want some black coffee here, mama
Please bring it in my favorite cup
I been down so long
I might never get up
Don't you give me no money
Cause if you do,
You'll never see it again
Don't you give me no money
If you do, you'll
Never see it again
Just bring me some of that black coffee
If you wanna
Stay my friend
