Beer Drinking Blues (1951)

Well, I'm a beer-drinkin' daddy with the beer-drinkin' blues.

I love you, baby, and that is true.

Well, I'm so drunk I can hardly stand.

I got a quart of beer in my right hand.

With money in my pocket lookin' neat.

I started out the record to beat. Just about the tenth quart I lost the blues.

Just a beer-drinkin' daddy with a nothin' to lose.

Well, my honey came in, she blew her top.

Lord I thought she'd never stop.

Well, she's my honey and I love her dear.

But she don't want me to drink beer.

With buggin' eyes, wobblin' knees

One more quart, honey, please

If you love me, you'll understand

That I want beer, I'm a beer drinkin' man

Well, I could hear her voice and I knew she was there.

But I couldn't see her anywhere.

With a gentle hand she stroked my head.

I looked up at her and this I said,

I'm a beer-drinkin' daddy with the beer-drinkin' blues.

I love you, baby, and that is true.

Before I die, I'll raise my hand.

I'll drink more beer than any man
