There's A Tear In My Beer

(album: That's How They Do It In Dixie: The Essential Collection - 2006)

[Hank Jr:]
There's a tear in my beer
Cause I'm cryin for you, dear
You are on my lonely mind
Into these last nine beers
I have shed a million tears
You are on my lonely mind
I'm gonna keep drinkin until I'm petrified
And then maybe these tears will leave my eyes
There's a tear in my beer
Cause I'm crying for you dear
You are on my lonely mind

[Hank Sr:]
Last night I walked the floor
And the night before

[Both:]
You are on my lonely mind

[Hank Sr:]
It seems my life is through
And I'm so doggone blue

[Both:]
You are on my lonely mind

[Hank Sr:]
I'm gonna keep drinkin til I can't move a toe
And then maybe my heart won't hurt me so

[Both:]
There's a tear in my beer
Cause I'm cryin for you dear
You are on my lonely mind

[Hank Sr:]
Lord, I've tried and I've tried
But my tears I can't hide

[Both:]
You are on my lonely mind

[Hank Sr:]
All these blues that I've found
Have really got me down

[Both:]
You are on my lonely mind
I'm gonna keep drinkin til I can't even think
Cause in the last week I ain't slept a wink
There's a tear in my beer
Cause I'm crying for you dear
You are on my lonely mind
