The Hank Williams Jr Tear In My Beer song version was released in 1988 and is a duet with his father created using electronic merging technology. The music video was named Video Of The Year by both the Country Music Association and the Academy of Country Music. Hank Williams, Sr. and Jr., would go on to “share” a Grammy award win in 1990 for Best Country Vocal Collaboration.
Three decades after country legend Hank Williams, Sr. died in the backseat of a Cadillac on New Year’s Day in 1953. His son Hank Williams, Jr. was only three years old at the time. Thanks to video technology, the younger Williams “reunites” with his late father in this music video. The still-stunning black-and-white clip, released in 1989, allowed father and son to “share” the same stage and collaborate in song.

Hank Williams Jr Tear In My Beer Lyrics
There’s a tear in my beer
‘Cause I’m cryin’ for you, dear
You are on my lonely mind
Into these last nine beers
I have shed a million tears
You are on my lonely mind
I’m gonna keep drinkin’
Until I’m petrified
And then maybe these tears
Will leave my eyes
There’s a tear in my beer
‘Cause I’m cryin’ for you dear
You are on my lonely mind
Last night, I walked the floor
And the night before
You are on my lonely mind
It seems my life is through
And I’m so doggone blue
You are on my lonely mind
I’m gonna keep drinkin’
‘Til I can’t move a toe
And then maybe my heart
Won’t hurt me so
There’s a tear in my beer
‘Cause I’m cryin’ for you dear
You are on my lonely mind
Lord, I’ve tried and I’ve tried
But my tears, I can’t hide
You are on my lonely mind
All these blues that I’ve found
Have really got me down
You are on my lonely mind
I’m a-gonna keep drinkin’ ’til I can’t even think
‘Cause in the last week, I ain’t slept a wink
There’s a tear in my beer
‘Cause I’m crying for you dear
You are on my lonely mind
