Don`t Forget The Coffee Billy Joe — текст песни (Tom T. Hall)

It snowed the night before and it had frozen on the ground We didn`t have a car and we lived seven miles from town And I can hear my daddy`s voice so many years ago Saying, "Don`t forget the coffee Billy Joe."
"Mama needs her medicine, she`s got that real bad cough We`ll get our check on Monday, tell ol` Sam we`ll pay him off You can catch a ride when you get to the black-top road Don`t forget the coffee Billy Joe"

Me and Quentin went back on the hill and we cut some wood Burnin` in that ol` warm mornin` stove it sure smelled good Daddy couldn`t get work then and I was just a child And God was on vacation for awhile

"Well, if you see Fred you tell him I`ll come help him kill them hogs And ask him if he`d still be interested in my dogs Don`t hang around that pool room all day, we might get more snow And don`t forget the coffee Billy Joe"

Well, they wonder why there ain`t no rabbits left this day and time To tell the truth I guess we ate `em all in `49 Was that yesterday or was it over 20 years ago "Don`t forget the coffee Billy Joe"

"Mama needs her medicine, she`s got that real bad cough We`ll get our check on Monday tell ol` Sam we`ll pay him off You can catch a ride when you get to the black-top road Don`t forget the coffee Billy Joe (Now pay attention, son) Don`t forget the coffee Billy Joe"
