WHY CAN'T WOMEN HAVE A GOOD BEER DRINKING SONG?
(Barbara Perry)


Barbara Perry - 1977



Why can't women have a good beer drinking song?

Here I am in this barroom, just a-thinkin' about you
I hear that jukebox playin' their breakin' blues
But all the singers sing about drinkers 
Or men who have been done wrong
Why can't women have a good beer drinkin' song?

Why can't women have a good beer drinkin' song
Where there are lots of women, lots of men that done wrong
Why should we have to do all the cryin' at home
Why can't women have a good beer drinkin' song?

Once in a while I might dance with an old friend I meet by chance
To those songs about a man, his women and his past
And there is nothin' wrong with that song 
About a man who has been done wrong
But why can't women have a good beer drinkin' song?

Why can't women have a good beer drinkin' song
Where there are lots of women, lots of men that done wrong
Why should we have to do all the cryin' at home
Why can't women have a good beer drinkin' song?
Why can't women have a good beer drinkin' song?
