Tom T. Hall Miscellaneous A Bar With No Beer The beachcomber works by the ocean all day He gets what the tourists and the sea throw away He's hot and he's thristy and the words hurt his ears When they tell him he stopped in a bar with no beer It's lonesome away from your kinfolks at home By the campfires at night where the buffalo roam But there's nothin' so lonesome, so morbid or drear Then to sit on a stool in a bar with no beer There's a dog on the sidewalk for his master he waits But his boss is inside drinkin' wine with his mates He hurries for cover and cringes in fear Ain't no place for a dog 'round a bar with no beer Now Billy the barfly, first time in his life He went home cold sober to his lovin' wife He walks in the kitchen, she says, you're early, my dear He breaks down and tells her, the bar's got no beer The owner is anxious for the beer man to come There's a far away look on the face of the bum The waitress is cranky, she says, it's lonely in here What a terrible place is a bar with no beer Well, I've had me some trouble, I've had me some pain Been locked up in the cold and left out in the rain I fought with the law but there's one thing I fear To get stuck in a town in a bar with no beer |
