The frothy foam is fading as the beer grows cold,
And drunken days are drawing near,
The winter winds will be much colder,
They drink my beer.
I watch the guys fly south towards the open fridge
And one by one they take a beer,
I wish that I was drinking with them
They drank my beer.
Like the sun to the sky I came to love it,
Like a leaf on a breeze it blew away...

Through autumn's golden gown we used to drink Guinness,
You always loved this type of beer
I wake up cold and undisturbed now
They drank my beer
They drank my beer
They drank my beer

Like the sun to the sky I came to love it
Like a leaf on the breeze it blew away...

A pint or two each night kept me on the road
I had to keep my head unclear
My life would be forever drinking,
They drank my beer
They drank my beer
They drank my beer

Like the sun to the sky I came to it
Like a leaf on a breeze it blew away...

Through autumn's golden gown we used to drink away
You always loved this time of year
Those drinking nights are six feet under
They drank my beer
They drank my beer
They drank my beer
