This ain't no beer joint It's a tear joint Just a place where lonely people Like to come and sit and cry This ain't no beer joint It's a tear joint And I feel one more fallin' From my eye Set 'em up, my friend Yes, I'm back again Would you please bring me a tall one? 'Cause my troubles are not the small ones Thank the Lord for dim lit taverns To cry your heart out in This ain't no beer joint No, it's a tear joint Just a place where lonely people Like to come and sit and cry This ain't no beer joint Oh, it's a tear joint And I feel one more fallin' From my eye Put a quarter in the jukebox Watch this old loser cry When they play them old sad songs Well, they bring back all the bygones And all the rights that turned out wrong Suddenly they come back strong This ain't no beer joint It's a tear joint Just a place where lonely people Like to come and sit and cry No, this ain't no beer joint It's only a tear joint And I feel one more fallin' From my eye
