Beer Drinkin' Woman Lyrics


Now I walked into a beer tavern
To give a girl a nice time
When I entered, I had forty-five dollars
When I left I had one dimeWasn't that a beer drinkin' woman?
Don't you know, man don't you know?
She was a beer drinkin' woman
I don't want to see her no moreNow when I spent down to my last dime
She says, "Daddy I know you're not through"
I told her, "Yes, baby doll and the diploma belongs to you"Wasn't that a beer drinkin' woman?
Don't you know, man don't you know?
She was a beer drinkin' woman
And I don't want to see her no moreShe would often say, "Excuse me a minute
I've got to step around here"
And every time she'd come back
She'd say, "I want another quart of beer"Wasn't that a beer drinkin' woman?
Don't you know, man don't you know?
Boy, she was the toughest I met
Lord, she was a beer drinkin' woman

I don't want to see her no moreI say, "I've got to step off baby
Anything else you would like?"
She said, "Daddy I'll keep this table
If you promise me you'll be back"You know that was a beer drinkin' woman
Don't you know, man don't you know?
She was a beer drinkin' woman
I don't wanna see her no moreI said, "I'm sorry baby, but I only have one more dime"
She said, "Daddy buy me a small bottle of beer
So I can concentrate my mind"Wasn't that a beer drinkin' woman?
Don't you know, man don't you know?
Lord, she was a beer drinkin' woman
I don't wanna see her no more
