Coffee Blues
Mississippi John Hurt
This is the Coffee
Blues, I likes a certain brand
Maxwell's House, it's good till the last
drop
Just like it says on the can
I used to have a girl
Cook me a
good Maxwell House
She moved away
Some said Memphis and some says
Leland
But I found her
And I wanted her to cook me some good Maxwell's
House
You understand, if I can get me just a spoonful of Maxwell's House
Do me much good as two or three cups this other coffee
I've got to go
to Memphis, bring her back to Leland
I wanna see my baby 'bout a lovin'
spoon
About a lovin' spoonful
Well I've just got to have my lovin', I
found her
Good mornin', baby, how you do this mornin'?
Well,
please, ma'am, just a lovin' spoon, just a lovin' spoonful
I declare I
got to have my lovin' spoon
My baby packed her suitcase and she went away
I couldn't let her stay for my lovin', my lovin' spoonful
Well I've just
got to have my lovin'
Good mornin' baby, how you do this mornin'?
Well, please, ma'am, just a lovin' spoon, just a lovin' spoonful
Well
I've just got to have my lovin'
Oh the preacher in the pulpit,
jumpin' up and down
He laid his Bible down for his lovin'
Ain't
Maxwell House all right?
Well, I'm just got to have my lovin'
You
can bring me whiskey, you can bring me tea
Nothin' satisfies me, ma'am,
but my lovin' spoon
My lovin'
Well I've just got to have my lovin'
Good mornin' baby, how you do this mornin'?
Well, please, ma'am, just
a lovin', just a lovin' spoonful
Makes things allright, with a lovin'
When your baby gets mad, and she won't do right
Go to bed at night...
