Dont Forget The Coffee Billy Joe

C

[Verse]
   C                    F         
It snowed the night be- fore and 
      C
it had frozen on the ground
                 F                
We didn't have a car and we lived 
C                G
seven miles from town
F                                  
And I can hear my daddy's voice so 
C             F
many years a- go
        C                 F    
Sayin', "Don't forget the coffee 
        C
Billy Joe"

[Chorus]
G                               F
"Mama needs her medicine, she's 
                 C
got that real bad cough
      G                            
We'll get our check on Monday, tell
     F                 C
 ol' Sam we'll pay him off
                F                 
You can catch a ride when you get 
C                F
to the black-top road
C                F            C
Don't forget the coffee Billy Joe"

C              F                
Me and Quentin went back on the hill
C
 and we cut some wood
                F               
Burnin' in that ol' warm mornin' 
 C                      G
stove, it sure smelled good
F                                
Daddy couldn't get work then and 
C            F
I was just a child
    C          F                   C
And God was on vacation for awhile

[Chorus]
          G                        
"Well, if you see Fred you tell him
           F                  C
 I'll come help him kill them hogs
G                                 
And ask him if he'd still be 
  F           C
inter- ested in my dogs
                       F           
Don't hang around that pool room 
       C                 F
all day, we might get more snow
C                    F            
And don't forget the coffee Billy 
C
Joe"

           C                F     
Well, they wonder why there ain't 
           C
no rabbits left this day and time
                     F           
To tell the truth, I guess we ate 
     C             G
'em all in forty- nine
         F                        
Was that yesterday or was it over 
C               F
twenty years a- go
C                 F            C
"Don't forget the coffee Billy Joe"

[Chorus]
G                               F
"Mama needs her medicine, she's 
                 C
got that real bad cough
      G                            
We'll get our check on Monday, tell
     F                 C
 ol' Sam we'll pay him off
                F                 
You can catch a ride when you get 
C                F
to the black-top road
C                F            C
Don't forget the coffee Billy Joe 
(Now pay attention, son)
