The Coffee Song

Got a cup of coffee,
ain't got all the money
for the electric bill.

Yeah, I got a cup of coffee,
but I ain't got all the money
for the electric bill.

This is a good cup of coffee,
but I ain't going to be able to see it,
once the lights go dim.

I got a cup of coffee,
ain't got all the money
for the electric bill.

I got a cup of coffee,
ain't got all the money
for the electric bill.

When the coffee beans run out,
I'll be out of them, too.

Got a cup of coffee,
ain't got all the money
for the electric bill.

How things doing over at your house?
Are you having trouble keeping your lights on?
Have you got a cup of coffee?
Have you got the money for your electric bill?

We're doing the best with what we got.
We're doing the best with what we got.
God gave some of us more.
God gave some of us less.


I got a cup of coffee,
ain't got all the money
for the electric bill.

I got a smile on my face,
come what will I got a smile on my face.

I got a cup of coffee,
ain't got all the money
for the electric bill.

(This is a blues song.
A Delta Mississipi blues song,
like Nathan Nelson plays and sings.)
