"A Cup Of Coffee" lyrics

A Cup Of Coffee

Man, it sure is good to hear you
Singing and yodeling
And picking again, Jack Elliot
I been driving
Hauling load of grain all day long
Got about three more
Hundred miles to go
And well, I just dropped in
To have a cup of coffee, friend
Yeah, I just dropped in
To have a cup of coffee, friend

Don't you offer me none of that whiskey
Don't need no wine
Gotta get that semi
Down the line

Sure good to see you again, Jack
Been a long time now
How's Flo?
You still married to old Flo
Ain't you?
Ha, ha, ha
Well, just coffee, thank you
Thank you very much
Whoa, whoa, well, well
It will cool it down a little bit
What is it man?
Do you make it yourself?
I like to hear you yodel
Just dropped in
To have a cup of coffee, friend

Sound good on that, man
Oh, that's the best part right there
I hope we ain't waking up Flo
Hey, Flo
Old Flo she's a good and boy
No, I didn't mean nothing
I just you know
I knew Flo a long time ago
We went to school together, you know?
Well, I just dropped in
To have a cup of coffee, friend
Yeah
Dropped in
To have a cup of coffee, friend

In don't in the glass
You gonna pour it in the glass
Whoa, whoa, whoa
That's enough
Man, put ice in and it's gonna run over
Whoa, whoa
Man, you got it all over the tablecloth
Making that stuff yourself?
If that's what makes you yodel it's good to me
Just dropped in
To have a cup of coffee, friend
Dropped in
To have a cup of coffee, friend

Don't give me none of your liquor
I don't want no wine
Gotta get that semi
Down the line

I gotta haul a load of grain
Bout three hundred more miles
I gotta get up and get out of here
If I can just find my cat
My hat
Get outa here, cat
Darn cat
No, that's alright
I can make it
I can make it
I can make it alright
Mama say I can make it
Leave me alone
Whoa, stepped right in her flowerbed
Oh, she gonna raise cain tomorrow
Where's my truck at?
Cause I thought I had it cross the street
Or on this side of the street
Well, alright
You got an extra room
She won't mind?
Okay
You sure now?
Put the blanket down around my feet
Get me up by six o'clock
Cause I don't want Flo catch me sleeping in here
Boy, she can flat raise your nose
Ha, ha
Just let my arms hang loose
Warm as I can be

I want to just to get me up
About eight o'clock
And I'll have a cup of coffee
Cause you know Flo too
Yeah, just dropped in
To have a cup of coffee friend
Jack, yodel for me one more time
Fore I go to sleep

I sure like to hear you yodel
Jack Elliot
