One Burbon, One Scotch, One Beer [Live in Chicago, Illinois, 10-1977] Songtext
von John Lee Hooker

One bourbon, one scotch, and one beer
I say hey mister bartender come here
I want another drink and I want it now

My baby she gone, she been gone two night
I ain′t seen my baby since night before last
I wanna get drunk and get her outta my mind
I want one bourbon, one scotch, and one beer

And then I sit down, drinkin', gettin′ high, mellow, groving
I was getting stoned, and after a while
I looked on the wall, at the old clock on the wall
By that time, it was eleven thirty
Gettin' a little late


I looked down the bar, at the bartender, I say hey
What do you want
One bourbon, one scotch, and one beer

Well my baby she gone, she been gone two night
I ain't seen my baby since night before last
I wanna get drunk till I′m off of my mind
One bourbon, one scotch, and one beer

And I sat there again,
I was drinkin,′ gettin', stoned
And doopin′, doopin'
Getting busy with the hand
And after a while
I looked on the wall again
And by that time, last call for alchohol

Then I looked down at the bar, at the bartender
I said hey mister bartender, what do you want this time

One bourbon, one scotch, and one beer
