Thought her heart was pure as gold
I asked her if she would be my wife
She had the cutest little smile
that she would change my life
Now here I am in the cabaret,
a -drinkin' beer by the can
She done me wrong, glad she's gone,
Just a -sittin' here a -drinkin' beer,
It seems that all the troubles
in this whole wide wicked world
Are all caused by money or by love
When my money was all gone,
we just couldn't get along
She pointed down that road,
So here I am in a cabaret,
a -drinkin' beer by the can
She done me wrong, glad she's gone,
Just a -sittin' here a -drinkin' beer
I still think of the time
when she broke my heart in two
And tied me down with a ball and chain
Oh, I've tried and I've tried
to make that woman satisfied
So here I am in a cabaret,
a -drinkin' beer by the can
She done me wrong, glad she's gone
Just a -sittin' here a -drinkin' beer,
