Beer Drinkin' Woman Lyrics - 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
