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

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

@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.

"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.

The song was written by Rudy Toombs and recorded in the 50's by Amos Milburn then it was re-recorded John Lee Hooker then again by George Therogood.
