Hey, bartender, how about another pitcher of beer over here?
I'll match you for the jukebox, this silence hurts my hair
Please don't tell me that I should go home and go to bed
I won't cause you no trouble, sir, if that's what you're thinking
I came in here to shed a tear and do some serious drinking
For the first time in my life
I'll try to drown my sorrows
I've lost my darling wife
And I hate to forget
I'll face tomorrow
But keep the jukebox playing, here's another dime
I'll just sit here all alone and have me a crying time
Keep my pitcher filled with beer when you see it sinking
I came in here to shed a tear and do some serious drinking
And just for tonight
Maybe I'll forget her
I didn't treat her right
Or I'd be at home
Or I'd be at home


With her
For the first time in my life
I'll try to drown my sorrows
I've lost my darling wife
And I hate to forget
And I hate to face tomorrow
I hate to face tomorrow
I hate to face tomorrow
Lord, I wish I was back home with her
And I could wish for a better tomorrow
And I could wish for a better buy
you
