The beachcomber works by the ocean all day [00:00:09]
He gets what the tourists and the sea throw away [00:00:14]
He's hot and he's thristy and the words hurt his ears [00:00:20]
When they tell him he stopped in a bar with no beer [00:00:26]
It's lonesome away from your kinfolks at home [00:00:34]
By the campfires at night where the buffalo roam [00:00:40]
But there's nothin' so lonesome so morbid or drear [00:00:46]
Then to sit on a stool in a bar with no beer [00:00:52]
There's a dog on the sidewalk for his master he waits [00:01:00]
But his boss is inside drinkin' wine with his mates [00:01:06]
He hurries for cover and cringes in fear [00:01:12]
Ain't no place for a dog 'round a bar with no beer [00:01:18]
Now Billy the barfly first time in his life [00:01:32]
He went home cold sober to his lovin' wife [00:01:38]
He walks in the kitchen she says you're early my dear [00:01:44]
He breaks down and tells her the bar's got no beer [00:01:50]
The owner is anxious for the beer man to come [00:01:58]
There's a far away look on the face of the bum [00:02:04]
The waitress is cranky she says it's lonely in here [00:02:10]
What a terrible place is a bar with no beer [00:02:16]
Well I've had me some trouble I've had me some pain [00:02:24]
Been locked up in the cold and left out in the rain [00:02:29]
I fought with the law but there's one thing I fear [00:02:35]
To get stuck in a town in a bar with no beer[00:02:41]
