"One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer" or "One Scotch, One Bourbon, One Beer" is a call and response[1] blues song written by Rudy Toombs and recorded by Amos Milburn in 1953. It is one of several drinking songs recorded by Milburn in the early 1950s that placed in the top ten of the Billboard R&B chart.[2] Other artists have popularized the song, including John Lee Hooker in 1966 and George Thorogood in 1977.
THIS! I can't get enough of it. I found in on a Roadhouse Blues CD I own and forgot how stellar this song is. Makes me want to slow dance with my honey in a hole in the wall someplace.
Man!!! this brings back the memories of private after hours clubs in Kemah Texas!! ( pre hurricane Carla), then the Colony Club in Galveston Texas and walking out of it to have breakfast with the sun shining on a Sunday Morning!!
@Thomsy111 Ok, I'm confused, one site says Amos did the song first, other one says John Lee did it first, I feel a showdown coming.... Who cares, both have great versions of the tune, besides, anyone know who wrote the song or is it considered "traditional"? Just curious, great music from peoples heart and soul! thanks
@91fatboy51 Blues singers have always borrowed phrases and lyrics from each other and J.L.Hooker was one who took songs and arranged them to fit his style. J.L.H.'s version ( and George's) are titled"one bourbon, one scotch,one beer"rather than "one scotch,one bourbon etc.probably to avoid any copyright action,but there Im just guessing.
HEY! I FOUND THIS MUSIC! I was 15 when I would hear it on the radio in San Francisco! We would always sing along with it - it's great! You go Amos! Thank you for this!

I'm sorry, John lee Hooker's version is the best. He sings from deep down inside , and I like his style a lot better

@DanielleMC88 I agree. I never even new john lee hooker wasn't the original. it actually is more bluesy and sounds older, less poppy.
