Don't Forget The Coffee Billy Joe Lyrics - Singles - 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"

Don't forget the coffee Billy Joe 

Now pay attention, son
