CIGARETTES AND COFFEE BLUES
Marty Robbins

I guess I'll take a walk tonight. I know that I can't sleep.
An' I won't go to bed at all. I'd just lay there and weep.
Instead, I'll make our favorite spot. That's what I think I'll do.
I got those smokin' cigarettes an' drinkin' coffee blues.

CHORUS: Smokin' cigarettes an' drinkin' coffee all night long,
Wond'rin' how a love so right could suddenly go wrong,
I'd take the next bus out o' town, but I gotta be near you.
I got those smokin' cigarettes an' drinkin' coffee blues.

Sittin' at the table where I call my baby's name,
Wonderin' where our love went wrong, wonderin' who's to blame,
List'nin' while the jukebox plays the songs that make me blue.
Another cup of coffee and a cigarette or two.

CHORUS: Smokin' cigarettes an' drinkin' coffee all night long,
Wond'rin' how a love so right could suddenly go wrong,
There's a lot of other people know the mis'ry I go through.
I got those smokin' cigarettes an' drinkin' coffee blues.
