Man it sure is good to hear you singing and yodeling
and picking again Jack Elliot
I been driving hauling load of grain all day long
     Em               F
Got about three more hundred miles to go
     G                                               C
And well I just dropped in to have a cup of coffee friend
Yeah I just dropped in to have a cup of coffee friend
Don't you offer me none of that whiskey don't need no wine
Gotta get that semi down the line
Sure good to see you again Jack been a long time now
How's Flo you still married to old Flo ain't you ha ha ha
Well just coffee thank you thank you very much
Whoa whoa well well it will cool it down

Just dropped in to have a cup of coffee friend
Sound good on that man that's the best part

Hey Flo old Flo she's a good 'un boy no

Man put ice in and it's going to run over whoa whoa
Man you got it all over the tablecloth

Just dropped in to have a cup of coffee friend
Dropped in to have a cup of coffee friend
Don't give me none of your liquor

If I can just find my cat my hat

Whoa stepped right in her flowerbed
oh she going raise cain tomorrow
Where's my truck at because
I thought I had it cross the street
Or on this side of the street
alright you got an extra room
She won't mind okay you sure now put
the blanket down around my feet
Get me up by six o'clock brcause
I don't want Flo catch me sleepin' in here
Boy she can flat raise your nose ha ha
just let my arms hang loose
Warm as I can be I wants just
to get me up about eight o'clock
And I'll have a cup of coffee because you know Flo too
Yeah just dropped in to have a cup of coffee friend
Jack yodel for me one more time fore I go to sleep

I sure like to hear you yodel Jack Elliot
