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
