A song from when I as a boy

[Slipdigit]

A little country diddy by the great Tom T. Hall, from 1975. I thought that some of you beer drinkers would find a kindred spirit with the author of this song.

I Like Beer

In some of my songs I have casually mentioned
The fact that I like to drink beer.
This little song is more to the point
Roll out the barrel and lend me your ears.

(chorus)
I like beer. It makes me a jolly good fellow.
I like beer. It helps me unwind and sometimes it makes me feel mellow (makes him feel mellow)
Whiskeys too rough, champagne costs too much, vodka puts my mouth in gear
This little refrain should help me explain as a matter of fact I like beer. (He likes beer)

My wife often frowns when were out on the town
And I’m wearing a suit and a tie.
She’s sipping vermouth and she thinks I’m uncouth
When I yell as the waiter goes by.

(chorus)

Last night I dreamed that I passed from the scene
And I went to a place so sublime.
Aw, the water was clear and tasted like beer.
Then they turned it all into wine (awww)

I like beer. It makes me a jolly good fellow.
I like beer. It helps me unwind and sometimes it makes me feel mellow (makes him feel mellow)
Whiskeys too rough, champagne costs too much, and vodka puts my mouth in gear
Aw, this little refrain should help me explain as a matter of fact I LOVE beer
(yes, he likes beer)
