One cup of coffee, then I'll go;
  Though I just dropped by to let you know
  That I'm leaving you tomorrow;
  I'll cause you no more sorrow:
  One cup of coffee, then I'll go.
  
  I brought the money like the lawyer said to do,
  But it won't replace the 'eartache I caused you;
  It won't take the place of lovin' you, I know,
  So one cup of coffee, then I'll go.

  Tell the kids I came last night
  And kissed them while they slept;
  Make my coffee sweet and warm
  Just the way you used to lie in my arms.
  
  I brought the money like the lawyer said to do,
  But it won't replace the 'eartache I caused you;
  It won't take the place of lovin' you, I know,
  So one cup of coffee, then I'll go;
  One cup of coffee, then I'll go;
  One cup of coffee, then I'll go.
