Coffee Blues Composer(s): Mississippi John Hurt Performer(s): 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 cookin' a good Maxwell House She moved away Some said to Memphis and some said to Leland, but I found her 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' spoonful, my lovin' spoonful Well, I'm 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 I declare, I got to have my lovin' spoonful
My baby packed her suitcase and she went away I couldn't let her stay for my lovin' my lovin' spoonful Well, I'm 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 I declare, I got to have my lovin' spoonful
Well, 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'
