  • This is the 'Coffee Blues', I likes a certain brand
    Maxwell's House, it's good till the last drop
    Just like it says on the can, I used to have a girl
    Cookin' a good Maxwell House, she moved away
    Some said to Memphis and some said to Leland

    But I found her, I wanted her to cook me
    Some good Maxwell's House, you understand?
    If I can get me just a spoonful of Maxwell's House
    Do me much good as two or three cups this other coffee

    I've got to go to Memphis, bring her back to Leland
    I wanna see my baby 'bout a lovin' spoonful, my lovin' spoonful
    Well, I'm just got to have my lovin', I found her

    Good mornin', baby, how you do this mornin'?
    Well, please, ma'am, just a lovin' spoon, just a lovin' spoonful
    I declare, I got to have my lovin' spoonful
    My baby packed her suitcase and she went away
    I couldn't let her stay for my lovin', my lovin' spoonful
    Well, I'm just got to have my lovin'

    Good mornin', baby, how you do this mornin'?
    Well, please, ma'am, just a lovin' spoon, just a lovin' spoonful
    I declare, I got to have my lovin' spoonful

    Well, the preacher in the pulpit, jumpin' up and down
    He laid his Bible down for his lovin'
    Ain't Maxwell House all right?
    Well, I'm just got to have my lovin' Writer/s: JOHN S HURT
