MEMPHIS SLIM * Beer Drinking woman *

    WOMEN ALSO LIKE BEER !!   Of course.................. 

    A las mujeres tambien les gusta la cerveza, desde luego ................... 

                   

Now I walked into a beer tavern

To give a girl a nice time

When I entered I had forty-five dollars

When I left I had one dime

Wasn't that a beer drinkin' woman

Don't you know, man don't you know

She was a beer drinkin' woman

I don't want to see her no more

Now when I spent down to my last dime

She says, "Daddy I know you're not through"

I told her, "Yes, baby doll and the diploma belongs to you"

Wasn't that a beer drinkin' woman

Don't you know, man don't you know

She was a beer drinkin' woman

And I don't want to see her no more

She would often say, "Excuse me a minute,

I've got to step around here"

And every time she'd come back

She'd say, "I want another quart of beer"

Wasn't that a beer drinkin' woman

Don't you know, man don't you know

Boy, she…

Ahora entré en una taberna de cerveza

Para darle un buen tiempo a una chica

Cuando entré tenía cuarenta y cinco dólares

Cuando me fui, tuve una moneda de diez centavos

¿No era esa una mujer bebiendo cerveza?

¿No lo sabes, hombre no sabes

Ella era una mujer bebiendo cerveza

No quiero verla más

Ahora cuando gasté hasta mi último centavo

Ella dice: "Papá, sé que no has terminado"

Le dije: "Sí, baby doll y el diploma te pertenece"

¿No era esa una mujer bebiendo cerveza?

¿No lo sabes, hombre no sabes

Ella era una mujer bebiendo cerveza

Y no quiero verla más

A menudo decía: "Disculpe un minuto,

Tengo que dar un paso aquí "

Y cada vez que ella regresaba

Ella decía: "Quiero otro litro de cerveza"

¿No era esa una mujer bebiendo cerveza?

¿No lo sabes, hombre no sabes

Chico, ella ...

Unlike Mississippi Fred McDowell, who hailed from Rossville, TN, Memphis Slim was actually from Memphis, although his real name was Peter Chatman. By any name, Slim was a masterful blues pianist with a distinctive style. This satisfying drummerless two-fer was originally issued as 1960s albums Just Blues and No Strain, all songs written by the prolific pianist, recorded in the same session and re-released the year after he died in Paris in 1988. The 23-tune collection opens with "Beer Drinking Woman" (with sly Funeral March quotes), followed by one of his patented, totally believable spoken intros. Fully nine of these tracks feature just piano and voice, illustrating beyond a doubt that this bluesman was the real deal who needed no help to get his point across.
