I wanna long tall bottle of beer put me in high gear         
Well that woman just left me, I'm drinking and drowning my tears
Well by the time this night is through I'm not gonna have a slightest clue
Why in the [bad word] that girl made me feel so [bad word] blue

I want a long tall bottle of vine and I'll feel just fine       
I'm gonna put her worthless memory way behind
Well by the morning light I'm gonna be feeling just right
Cause I'm drinking that woman above my mind tonight

I want a long tall bottle of whiskey to set it down right here
Well my head will be clear and I'll be full of good cheer
I'm gonna drink my blues away so just like Battle Georgia say
I want one bourbon and one scotch and one beer if you please me
Give me long tall bottle that'll set me free, oh Lord
I'm gonna drink till I can't feel what she's done to me
