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 says, `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`
