I believe I’ve found that George Jones (with Jimmy Day, 1962) rearranged Wills’ Bubbles in My Beer in the B section:
1) Wills [and John Hughey, Ray Price, Ray Pennington (Buddy), Willie Nelson] B section: |IV | IV | I | I | V | V | I | I |
2) Jones B section: |IV | IV | I | I | I | I | V| V |
I like this version because ending on the V resolves into the I in the second half of B the section. Also measures 6-7 can be expanded into a vi and a ii, which adds to the harmonic motion.
Does this bass line actually differ? Does anyone play it this way?
Thanks. |

Seems to me either way would work w/ tunes melody. Bass player would adjust accordingly to whichever version band is playing.
I'm super familiar with both versions you mentioned plus the Wills/ Tommy Duncan version and gotta say this is one of my favorite tunes on earth! Great lyrics/story.
And the ride James Clayton Day takes on Willy's version is sublime. He played with so much heart. That ENTIRE record for that matter, just delicious. |

Bobby Flores does an outstanding job on Bubbles in my beer. I’m not sure who’s playing steel, but it’s pretty good 😎😉
