Cup of Coffee - Ramblin' Jack Elliott

Just dropped by to get a cup of coffee, now

Just dropped by to grab a cup of coffee

Don’t gimme no whiskey, ain’t got time for wine

I got to wheel this old semi down the line

Well, I just dropped a load uh grain about forty miles up the road and I’m

goin' up empty

This old trailer sure can bounce when it’s empty, too—'bout to shake my kidneys

loose

I seen yer light comin' in my windshield

Just black, just black.

.. thank you

Ahh, that’s kinda hot, you got somethin' to cool it off?

In the coffee, pour it in the coffee

Ahh, that’s better

Hey, that’s good.

.. you make this stuff yourself?

You oughta bottle it

Well, that old truck burned out a year ago, I gotta brand new rig workin' out

there, look out the winda

Them West Coast aluminum front wheels, twin screws, twin stacks

Got a Cummin 335 with a four-by-four

Got an air-conditioned sleeper

Got my lights rigged up like a Christmas Tree, keep all them drivers awake,

blinkin' their lights

Oh, she’s fine, they’re all fine, I talked to her yesterday, how’s Flo?

Yeah, another, yeah, just another

Ahh, well well, this is fine, this is fine, I better get on the road here

Where’s my hat.

.. cap.

.. hat.

.. where’s that, uh, Siamese cat?

I’ll take 'em with me, could use a little company

That’s alright, I can walk by myself, just look out, turn me loose, George!

I can walk!

Ooh, stepped right in the flower bed;

I’m in the petunias!

Haha, that’s alright, couch is fine, couch is fine

I don’t need no pillow: just throw a blanket over my feet, wake me up around

four

No, you better leave that foot on the floor, that’s my clutch foot

Put that thing up on the couch, I’ll never wake up

Alright, goodnight

You be sure an' wake me now

What time is.

.. alright, goodnight
