Seven beers with the wrong woman
We sat at the table for two
The first thing I knew, she whispered
"Oh boy, I could sure go for you"
My heart beat a little bit quicker
As I held her sweet little hand
I swelled up with pride, but, oh, how she lied
I sure was a foolish young man

Seven beers with the wrong woman
She made me get up and dance
Around and around we circled
Till I missed my money from my pants
I asked her if she had seen it
She smiled up at me and said, "No"
To this day to me it's a big mystery
I wonder just where did it go

Seven beers with the wrong woman
Her husband walked in after that
And as soon as he spied us together
He rushed up and gimme a pat
He took me by the seat of my britches
And he sure did jerk up the slack
And then I got throwed out the door by the boss
And he told me to never come back

Seven beers with the wrong woman
It left me only regret
I guess she was only a-foolin'
When she called me her darlin' and pet
Oh, I wish that the Lord had made Adam
And had never made anyone else
Just one thing I know, the next place I go
I'll buy fourteen beers for myself
