Tom T. Hall - Don’t Forget The Coffee Billy Joe lyrics

[Tom T. Hall - Don’t Forget The Coffee Billy Joe lyrics]

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
Rabbit's 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"
