About

Sometimes “the blues” is as simple as not having your coffee made the way you like it.

As described in the song’s spoken introduction, “Coffee Blues” is about a man whose woman moves away and his efforts to track her down because he can’t live without her “coffee.”

Coffee Blues Lyrics

[Spoken]
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, and I wanted her to cook me some good Maxwell's House. Now 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, from there to Leland
I wanna see my baby 'bout a lovin' spoonful
'Bout a lovin' spoonful
Well, I'm just got to have my lovin'...

[Spoken]
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, oh, 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've just got to have my lovin'...

Oh, the preacher in the pulpit, jumpin' up and down
He laid his Bible down for his lovin'...

[Spoken]
Ain't Maxwell's House all right?

Well, I'm just got to have my lovin'...

You can bring me Whiskey, you can bring me tea
Nothin' satisfies me man, but my lovin' spoon...
My lovin'...
Well, I've 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
Makes things allright, with a lovin'

When your baby gets mad, and she won't do right
Go to bed at night, get a lovin'...
Well, a lovin' spoonful
Well, I've just got to have my lovin'

Good mornin', baby, how you do this mornin'?
Well, please, ma'am, just a lovin'...
Oh the womens in greenwood, they raise and sing
It's all about that lovin'...
That lovin' spoonful
I'll class all right, that lovin'...
