Lyrics:



One bourbon, One Scotch, and one beer.

One Bourbon, One Scotch, and one beer.

Hey mister bartender come in here!

I want another drink and I want it now.

My baby she's gone, she's been gone tonight,

I aint's seen my baby since the night before last.

One bourbon, one scotch and one beer.



Spoken:



And then I sat there,

gettin high, mellow, knocked out, feelin good.

And by that time, I looked on the wall,

at the old clock on the wall.

By that time it was 10:30.

I looked down at the bar, at the bartender.

He said, "What do you want Johnny?"



Sung:



One bourbon, one scotch, and one beer.





Well my baby's gone, she's been gone tonight.

I ain't seen my baby since the night before last.

I wanna get drunk, get her off of my mind.

One bourbon, one scotch, and one beer.





Spoken:



And I saty there, getting high, stoned, knocked out,

And by that time, I looked on the wall,

At the old clock, and by that time,

It was a quarter to two:

Last call for alcohol.

I said, "Hey Mr. Bartender"

"What do you want"



Sung:



One bourbon, one scotch and one beer.
