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
