Beth Hart - Black Coffee Lyrics






Black coffee (Ooh)
Is my name
Black coffee (Black coffee)
Ooh, is my thing
Black coffee (Ooh)
Freshly ground and fully prepared
Hot black coffee, boy (Black coffee)
Mmh that's where it's at

Way back yonder when I don't know when
See I got hungover before I was ten
You see my skin is white but my soul is black
And a hot black coffee, that's where it's at

(Black coffee) That's what I'm talking about
(Black coffee)
(Black coffee) Ooh, you've got to feel it in the air
(Black coffee)
(Black coffee)

Will you hear that?
Some black tea
It can't compare with me (Can't compare with me)
Some black tea (Ooh)
Well it's as good as, it's as good as
It's as good as it can be
But it's a cup of black coffee
That a working man needs to see, yeah

Here in America, where it's the land of the free
And you can get what you want if you've got that do re mi
And I've got me a job, and I'm working like a slave
Yeah I'm independent and you know I get paid
Say I got me a man, and I got me a little place
I got a spit of black coffee, and how good it tastes
I said a dime is all it costs in the States
For a cup of black coffee and how good it tastes

(Black coffee) And alright
(Black coffee) Oh
(Black coffee) That's what I want, that's what I need
(Black coffee) Ooh, what I want me
(Black coffee) That's what I want, that's what I need
(Black coffee) That's what I'm talking about, and it's what I'm talking about
(Black coffee) A black coffee
(Black coffee) A black coffee, child
(Black coffee) It's where it's at, it's where it's at
(Black coffee) It's where it's at, what I need
Black coffee

Beth Hart Black Coffee Comments
  1. J.... K....

    when music and interpretations generate deep emosions, what happens is that sounds become true art and words are left over, so you just have to say, thanks Beth for so much talent

  2. B.... J....

    They should make a coffee maker that plays this song every time you start brewing !

  3. N.... P....

    Only the best from her as always 🔑

  4. k.... M....

  5. S.... B....

  8. T.... P....

    This girl....

  9. B.... G....

    do i hear Joplin? My god she is incredible

  10. R.... C....

    Wonder what it would sound like to play this version and Steve Marriotts at the same time

  11. G.... K....

    Channeling Steve Marriott perfectly.

  12. C.... K....

    Goes well with humble pie!

  13. E.... P....

    On internet radio I would have sworn it was Steve Marriott singing. Great job Beth.

  14. p.... ....

    Luv the sound of the drums. Perfect snare! Nice deep bass drum.

  15. H.... S....

    Steve Marriott, Are you listening up there? Got to admit, Stevie, she’s good! Must make you feel proud!

  16. M.... P....

    Kolejna cudowna wersja tego klasycznego tematu. I pomyśleć, że ta płyta była nagrywana w fatalnej atmosferze. Beth Hart podobno nie może słuchać tego krążka. Ja na szczęście tak!!!

  17. M.... Z....

    Богиня...нереально круто...пиздец какой то.

  18. w.... h....

    how older,...so beth

  19. I.... S....

    Fantastico !!!☕☕☕

  20. �.... �....

    ЯКООООО !

  21. N.... P....

    When the blessed makes music!!!

  22. P.... R....

    Pure energy...great great beth

  23. d.... ....

    Mahalia Barnes and Beth Hart. I think Joe likes the screamers. :)

  24. d.... ....

    "But is a cup of black coffee, and HOWWWWWWW good it taste" Damn, I dropped my cup of coffee on that one.

  25. T.... D....

    I haven't washed my coffee cup in 10 years. I don't know if I could handle Mrs. Hart.
    I would try my damndest tho!

    T.... D....

    What a arsehole what
    the fuck brings a sick fuck like you on here

  26. �.... �....

    Дякую!....фантастика, неймовірно!!!

  27. J.... R....

    AWESOME 👍👍👍👍👍

  28. J.... R....

    So Steve Mariott was reincarnated as a white woman with soul. Who knew?

    J.... R....

    He's got nice tits to

  29. J.... K....

    What do you mean might be? She is the best ever.

  30. H.... G....

    This is a real female voice, not Helene Fischer!

  31. m.... c....

    not one shot of the backup singers?

  32. N.... c....

    Beth Hart just blew this away just as good as it can be....stunning.

  33. d.... p....

    Bonamassa una chitarra da dio💪

  34. C.... S....

    She might be the best female vocalists ever. Just my opinion..

    C.... S....

    Along with Janis Joplin and Linda Ronstadt for me

    C.... S....

    @Scott Crosby berh hart is in an a different league to those two they don't even come close.

    C.... S....

    Norms caster I wouldn’t disagree, They are all amazing

    C.... S....

    If beth Hart was more mainstream she would be right up there with the biggest mega super stars on the planet.

  35. C.... S....

    Her live concert in Amsterdam is unbelievable.

  36. Z.... F....

    I think Steve is smiling up in heaven!

  37. d.... ....

    holy shnikes, that's how its done. a heavy nod to humble pie (via ike & tina turner) you guys make magic. it would of been nice to lyrically touch on peggy lee's song of the same name at the outro (not the same tune)

  38. P.... B....

    JUST AWESOME:)

  39. M.... S....

    Сердце, как бы есть, по крайней мере, в имени певички, а вот, души, увы, нет. Joe отличный музыкант, гитарист от Бога. Есть у него вещи, которые можно слушать часами и ловить настоящий кайф, но не эта. Эта - попсовый блюз. Чуть потише сделать и можно в супермаркетах крутить, типа, купите кофе, купите чёрный кофе... Это не блюз. Бездушная музыка и крикливая баба Beth Hart.

  40. A.... ....

    Wow they rocked that one. Now I need some.

  41. D.... M....

    More talent than all the "award winning female vocalists"

  42. S.... ....

    Humble Pie's version is the best.

  43. r.... r....

    Steve Marriott would be proud.

  44. L.... B....

    Like !!!

  45. c.... ....

    Steve marriott of humble pie and small faces covered this song and dont need no doctor. He was also a great singer as is his daughter molly marriott.

  46. p.... ....

    WOW!!! This song was written and performed originally by TINA TURNER in 1972, from the Ike & Tina Turner album "Feel Good" album (United Artists 1972). Like "NUTBUSH" nobody can sing Tina Turner songs like the wonderful Beth Hart! I love that covers songs that Tina wrote herself 🙏🙏

  47. O.... ....

    Wow, God bless you sister! You have been blessed with a powerful instrument, for His glory 📢🎶🎼🎹🎸👆🙏

  48. E.... T....

    Steve Marriott in female form.

  49. M.... M....

    Je t'adore

  50. P.... W....

    Not even a fraction as good as Humble Pie's version

  51. A.... L....

    What a great song for your morning alarm!!!

  52. M.... W....

    beautiful love it shared worldwide lol Marilee

  53. G.... D....

    Dying to see someone do a reaction video to this!

  57. L.... f....

    Where have I been these years?

  58. t.... b....

    You can listen to this in the morning and you won't need coffee anymore

  59. G.... S....

    Omg,,, I just had ,,,, a moment

  60. E.... V....

    She's amazing singer beautiful woman with a good musicians xxx

  61. S.... O....

    Beth, you're crazy! What a perfect feeling listen to the your discography every-time!

  62. D.... S....

    Somewhere Steve Marriott is smiling.

  63. S.... A....

    Oh my GAWD..... Beth shore can moan

  64. R.... K....

    All I can say is wow

  65. G.... W....

    Good lord! ....Does Beth have a 3rd lung we don't know about hidden down in her leg or what! ......She makes me sufficiently breathless! .......and I like it!

    G.... W....

    the 3rd is in her belly !

  66. d.... d....

    Damn, i dont know what to say.....im blown away

  67. d.... �....

    Gecenin 2 14'ünde eşlik etmek için güzei bir müzik, beth her zamanki gibi fazla isyankar zaten

  68. w.... ....

    I always drank a lot of strong coffee until my stomach started to protest against coffee, so i stopped drinking it an my stomach liked it. But now my stomach will have a problem. After hearing this song I need a coffee! Thanks Beth ;-)

  69. J.... V....

    Dobří jako vždy !

  70. r.... r....

    Beth nailed it! Damn that woman has a set of pipes. I think Steve would approve this version.

  71. s.... g....

    Best j b!!!😉😉😉

  72. n.... ....

    I recently heard a cover of this same song by Rival Sons, I have to say I liked that one better

  73. S.... B....

    Have a friend who owns a coffee shop,told her to make this her theme song.Killer music

  74. A.... W....

    Steve Marriott totally rocked this song but I have to say Beth came a very close second. Joe's guitar is as always exemplary!

  75. R.... M....

    Great lead vocals, channeling Tina and Steve, but the band for all its tightness and great sound lacks a bit of grunt and soul IMHO. The Humble Pie Old Grey Whistle Test performance is my favourite version of this song. Marriott's vocal dynamics and interplay with the Blackberries is pure gold.

  76. d.... h....

    Beth!!!! .. ❤ where did you get that guitarist he's good.

  77. b.... b....

    Beth bonammasa good!!very good!

  78. s.... g....

    Holy Mamma, I'm grooving to this beat! I'd sit down & share some hot coffee, talk about love gone wrong & a lil madness; cream and sugar a must! You give me a smile every damn day!

  84. M.... W....

    "My skin is white but my soul is black" WOW! I love this performance! Beth and Joe - you are THE perfect team!

  85. R.... B....

    hung over before i was 10 ?????? hello i get it … i love you beth

  92. R.... N....

    Black Coffee is slang for black tar heroin.
