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
