[Chorus 1: Hank Williams Jr]
There's a tear in my beer
'Cause I'm crying for you, dear
You are on my lonely mind

[Verse 1: Hank Williams Jr]
Into these last nine beers
I have shed a million tears
You are on my lonely mind
I'm going to keep drinking until I'm petrified
And then maybe these tears will leave my eyes

[Chorus 1: Hank Williams Jr]
There's a tear in my beer
'Cause I'm crying for you, dear
You are on my lonely mind

[Verse 2: Hank Williams]
Last night I walked the floor
And the night before

[Chorus 2: Both]
You are on my lonely mind

[Verse 3: Hank Williams]
It seems my life is through
And I'm so doggone blue
[Chorus 1: Both]
There's a tear in my beer
'Cause I'm crying for you, dear
You are on my lonely mind

[Verse 4: Hank Williams]
I'm going to keep drinking til I can't move a toe
And then maybe my heart won't hurt me so

[Chorus 1: Both]
There's a tear in my beer
'Cause I'm crying for you dear
You are on my lonely mind

[Verse 4: Hank Williams]
Lord, I've tried and I've tried
But my tears I can't hide

[Chorus 2: Both]
You are on my lonely mind

[Verse 5: Hank Williams]
All these blues that I've found
Have really got me down

[Chorus 2: Both]
You are on my lonely mind
[Verse 6: Both]
I'm going to keep drinking til I can't even think
Cause in the last week I ain't slept a wink

[Chorus 1: Both]
There's a tear in my beer
'Cause I'm crying for you, dear
You are on my lonely mind
