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
