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 on sittin' here

Until i'm petriified.

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.



2:

Last night i walked the floor

And the night before

You are on my lonely mind.

It seems my life is through

And i'm so doggone blue

You are on my lonely mind.

I'm gonna keep on sittin' here

Till i can't move a toe

And then maybe my heart

Won't hurt me so.

There's a tear in my beer

'cause i'm cryin' for you, dear.

You are on my lonely mind.

Lord, i've tried and i've tried

But my tears i can't hide

You are (were?) on my lonely mind.

All these blues that i've found

Have really got me down

You are on my lonely mind

I'm gonna keep on drinkin' till 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.
