My transcription. See Artful Codger's link above.


ARBUCKLE'S COFFEE
Recorded by the Arbuckle Boys

Roll out, boys. Come and get it.
Grease your gear. Flapjacks in the skillet.
Fill your hands and head for the pot.
That Arbuckle's coffee, she's ready and hot.

She'll warm you up. She'll curl your hair.
You can float a horseshoe in that black stuff there.
Old Cookie says: "Boys, I'm a famous man,
And Arbuckle's coffee, she's the best in the land."

CHORUS: Arbuckle's coffee in an old tin cup,
Sip it real slow. Drink it right up.
Arbuckle's coffee in an old tin can
Put hair on your chest, good to the last man.

Here comes Blue. He's ridin' in fast
With Slim and J. B. and young Billy Bass.
Here comes Lou, and here comes Shorty
Smellin' that ... Arbuckle's coffee.

Ol' Cookie he's a-cussin', raisin' almighty Cain.
His biscuits ain't risin'. It's tryin' to rain.
Them boys is a-laughin' and tellin' tall tales,
Drinkin' Arbuckle's coffee right out on the trail.
