The music world grieves the loss of Jamestta Hawkins.

 

Taken from her latest album The Dreamer,

Otis Redding's Cigarettes and Coffee.

Etta:

...

And while I complete

I complete my whole life

Oh it would be

Oh I said it would be yeah yeah yeah

If you would take things

Take things under consideration

And walk down this hour with me yeah

And I would love it I would love it yeah yeah

People I say it's so early in the morning oh

It's a quarter quarter to three

We're sitting here we're sitting here talking

Talking oh baby over cigarettes

And cigarettes and drinking coffee now now Lord

I'll like to show you well

I've known nothing but good old joy yeah now listen

Since I met you darling oh hon'

Honey since I've met you baby baby yeah yeah

I would love to have another drink

Of coffee now baby now

And please darling help me to smoke

This one more cigarette now

And I don't want no cream and sugar

'cause I've got you baby I got you darling

But just let me enjoy help me to enjoy

This good time this good time we'll have baby yeah

Now listen it's so early early in the morning oh

So early so early early in the morning

Now listen it's so early early in the morning oh

So early so early early in the morning

And I've got you and you've got me and we got each other

And we don't we don't want nothing but joy

Joy oh nothing but joy
