Beer Drinking Woman (Take 2) - Memphis Slim

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
