Coffee Blues (intro) Songtext
von 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
I understand if I can get me just a spoonful of Maxwell′s house
It′ll 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' spoon, my lovin′ spoonful
Well, I'm just got to have my lovin′, I found her

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
Well, I'm just got to have my lovin′

Ooh, 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′
You can bring the Whiskey, you can bring me tea
Nothing satisfy me, man, but my lovin′ spoon, my lovin'
Well, I′m just got to have my lovin'

Good mornin′, baby, how you do this mornin'?
Well please ma′am, just lovin', just lovin' spoonful
Maxwell house all right, will lovin′
When your baby kiss my head and she want do right
Goodbye at night, give lovin′
Well 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'
Oh the women in Greenwood the reason same
It's all about, their lovin′, their lovin′ spoonful
All clash alright their lovin'
