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
