Here's another song using the "Simple Gifts" melody. It's in the "Women" chapter on page 253-254 of the Rise Up Singing Songbook. Anybody know anything about lyrics writer Cassandra Amesley?

COFFEE
(words by Cassandra Amesley, music: Simple Gifts)

When I wake up in the morning I will plug in the pot
If I choose to do it, drink my coffee hot
But I work in an office that is run by men
Who expect me to do it again and again

CHORUS
Coffee, the bane of my life
I am not paid to be an office wife
You've got hands and a modicum of sense and health
You can make your goddamn coffee for yourself

It's hard to be working in a paper life
To shuffle paper and to have to type
To file every morning and to balance the books
I'll be damned if I also have to cook

I receive all your visitors with charm and a smile
And I find important documents you lose in a file
Work overtime on call, draft reports you cannot do
And I make ten thousand less than you

If you're too important to make coffee or tea
Well that sure says what you must think of me
If the logic of this song doesn't filter through
You drip, I still have grounds to sue!
