They make it here, they break it here
Milwaukee is the place for beer
My baby's gone and I'm alone
She got a Birmingham bus and went back home
And didn't even say goodbye
So tonight I'm going to try
To drink Milwaukee dry
She never should have left me
She should have known I couldn't stand up to it
You might say I done her a little bit wrong
But I didn't mean to do it
So why do I worry about the past
What's done by is by
And tonight I'm going to try
To drink Milwaukee dry
Play me songs make 'em blue
And bartender bring me barrels of brew
And call the man where they make it at
And tell him to send every can that he can
And keep 'em working overtime
And tonight I'm going to try
To drink Milwaukee dry
She never should have left me
She should have known I couldn't stand up to it
You might say I done her a little bit wrong
But I didn't mean to do it
So why do I worry about the past
What's done by is by
And tonight I'm going to try
To drink Milwaukee dry
