1) I'm feel-in' might-y lone-some

1) Have-n't slept a wink

1) I walk the floor and watch the door and

1) In be-tween I drink black cof-fee

1) Love's a hand-me-down broom

1) I'll ne-ver know a Sun- day

1) In this week- day room

1) I'm talk-in' to the sha-dows

1) One o'-clock to four

1) And Lord, how slow the mo-ments go when

1) All I do is pour black cof-fee

1) Since the blues caught my eye

1) I'm hang- in' out on Mon- day

1) My Sun-day dreams to dry

1) Now a man is born to go a lov-in'

1) A Wo-man's born to weep and fret

1) To stay at home and tend her o-ven

1) And drown her past re-grets

1) In cof-fee and ci-ga-rettes

1) I'm moon-in' all the morn-in' and

1) Mourn-in' all the night

1) And in be-tween it's ni-co-tine and

1) Not much heart to fight black cof-fee

1) Feel-in' low as the ground

1) It's driv-in' me cra-zy

1) This wait-in' for my ba-by

1) To may-be come a-round
