The feller who invented coffee Rates pretty high in my book. You could prob'ly run the Tongue for a week On the gallons that I've partook.
Sawyers, Butternut or Hills Brothers Arbuckle or MJB, Them old brands, and a whole batch of others, Has been sipped and savored by me.
From a bucket done in the camp fire, Or a porcelain cup in town, It's all good, but some of it's better -- A-steamin' and velvety brown.
Cream or sugar? No thanks. Black's for me, And strong. Yep, and hotter than Hell. Them contented chemists' Dixie-cup cream Don't really suit me too well.
Some day when I turn hoofey-side up, Joinin' Hell's (or St. Peter's wing'd) ranks, I'll work the herd for coffee's inventor, To give him a Howdy,...and Thanks.
