lyrics

I don't know why my true love left me for another
the prior night you couldn't pry her from my arms
Oh Rivka or Rivka oh how the the world could she leave me?
I looked where she was, all i could see is bad beer

Oh that bad beer, bad beer. Chased away my dearest darling
Oh that bad beer, bad beer. Bring back my Rivka to me.

With one bad beer, I might get a little bit frisky
But with too much bad beer, and Rivka was sporting black eyes
It's the same old story, with vodka sambuca or whiskey
It's all bad beer when rivka is not by my side


Oh that bad beer, bad beer. Chased away my dearest darling
Oh that bad beer, bad beer. Bring back my Rivka to me.

I can't control my senses,
I suppose that you can say that I am senseless
I don't know what right and wrong is
And Ironically all that I want is

That fucking bad beer, bad beer. Chased away my dearest darling
Oh that bad beer, bad beer. Bring back my Rivka to me.

Oh that bad beer
Oh that bad beer
My true love is gone and I wish i could vomit you out of my liver my life and my past
Bad beer
Oh that bad beer
I'll go to the docks where the surf is like knives, jump in and I'll be free from you at last

Bad beer.
