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 dime

Wasn'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 more

Now 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 more

She 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 more

I 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 more

I 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
