The first thing that one does when you wake before the sun does Get the fire going Won't be long till you feel the heat find a spot and take a seat Till the coals start glowing Then pull out the granite pot poor old thing's been used a lot Don't look like much but just you wait and see Pour some grounds from a leather poke add a little taste of old wood smoke Man that's cowboy coffee Every day we all get up find our favorite old tin cup Pour a taste of heaven Plenty grub for all the crew throw'er down with a cup or two Saddle up by seven Head on out there's work to do ropin' ridin' brandin' too Every day's as tough as it can be
Chasin' strays and hangin' wire work all day and you still ain't tired Man that's cowboy coffee Don't ask those boys bout latte Cowboy coffee comes just one way Strong enough to make you stand up straight And talk about flavor now just you wait After suppertime is done still got time for a little fun Take it slow and easy Sittin' around the fireside singin' songs and tellin' lies One more pot of coffee Then some young buck starts to nag Joe go on to your saddle bag Pull out that bottle everybody's seen Pour in some of that ninety-proof warm us up down to our boots Man that's cowboy coffee man that's cowboy coffee
