Barman Songtext
von Roger Chapman

Well, who′s that there? It's Leroy Green
Man, oh man, now is that cat mean
Razor-totin′ Billy Joe
You mess with him, you don't mess no more

Now, there's Dolly Mae and Crazy Eve
I could tell you stories that you wouldn′t believe
Catch those chicks, catch those two
Man, they′re really into something rude

Stagger Lee, he's in trouble again
He′s going to end up in the pen
Where there's no handmade shoes or silk ties
Or sharkskin suits or none of that jive

Now, there′s Jake, he runs the band
When that cat's blowin′, said the whole joint jams
He burns it up, ooh, that guitar picker
I don't know how on all of that liquor


Hey barman, give me one more beer
What kind of stories do you want to hear?
I know the people, oh, I know the place
Hey barman, won't you give me just one more taste
Ah, just give me one more beer
And I′ll tell you about everybody′s face in here
Just give me one, give me one little drink
All I need is just a little whiskey

Now, who's that there? Oh, it′s Miss Lucy Brown
Now she ain't stopped since she hit this town
But if she′s quiet as a mouse
Well, we must spread ramble over my house

Now, shut my mouth, slap my face
If you ain't the sweetest gal in the place

I got my gin house suit and cotton shoes
I′m here to sing those Yellow Dog Blues

Hey barman, give me one more beer
What kind of stories do you want to hear?
I know the people, oh, I know the place
Hey barman, won't you give me just one more taste

Oh, hey barman, give me one more beer
What kind of stories do you want to hear?
I know the people, I know the place
Hey barman, won't you give me just one more taste


Ah, just give me one more beer
Just give me a beer and a little shot on the side
And I′ll tell you everything about every face
And every little girl that walks in this room
Just give me one, give me one, give me one
Give me one, give me one, give me one more beer
Hey barman, just give me one little taste
And I′ll tell you everything about every face

Oh, oh, one more beer, yeah
And I'll tell you every little thing about every face in here, oh
