Black Coffee - 2016 Mono Remastered - Ray Charles

I'm feelin' mighty lonesome

Haven't slept a wink

I walk the floor an' watch the door

In between I drink

Black coffee …

Love's a hand-me-down room

I'll never know a Sunday

In this weekday room.

Been talkin' to the shadows

One o'clock ‘til four

An' Lord how slow the moments go

When all ya do is pour

Black coffee …

Since the blues caught my eye

I'm hangin' out on Monday

My Sunday dreams to dry.

You know a man is born to love a woman

To work and slave to pay her debts

Just because he's only human

To drown his past regrets

In coffee and cigarettes.

I'm moonin' all the mornin'

Mournin' all the night

In between it's nicotine

Not much heart to fight

Black coffee ...

Feelin' low as the ground

I'm waitin' for my baby

To maybe come around.

Gonna drown my past regrets

In some coffee and a few cigarettes.

I'm moonin' all the mornin'

Mournin' all the night

In between it's nicotine

And not much heart to fight

Black coffee …

Feeling low as the ground

It's driving me crazy!

Just waitin' for my baby

To maybe come around.

Please come around

Please come …
