Coffee
by Wallace McRae


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.
