Thread Name: Lyr Req: Beer Drinking Woman
Subject: Lyr Add: BEER-DRINKING WOMAN
I have never heard Black Ace's version. I got these lyrics from a Memphis Slim recording. I can't swear it is the same song, but what the heck...

I walked into a tavern to give a girl a nice time.
I had $45.00 when I went in, and I left without a dime.
She's a beer-drinking woman, man, don't you know?
She's a beer-drinking woman, and I don't want to see her no more.

I got down to my last quarter and she said, "I know you ain't through."
I said, "Oh, yes I am, and it's all because of you."
She's a beer-drinking woman, man, don't you know?
She's a beer-drinking woman, and I don't want to see her no more.

Every now and then, she'd excuse herself and say, "I gotta step around back here."
When she'd come back, there'd be room for another quart of beer.
She's a beer-drinking woman, man, don't you know?
She's a beer-drinking woman, and I don't want to see her no more.

I hope this helps.
