The Wine Song

(Album: Earth Music - 1967)

Some folks like whiskey, whiskey's mighty fine
Some folks like moonshine, Lord, they drink it all the time
My daddy taught me, he said, "Son, only way to keep your head in line
Drinking that wine wine, wine
Keep your head stoned all the time"
(That's what he said)

Look at them luscious little bottles, sitting up on the shelf
Red green and yellow, Lord, they are something else, hmmm
They mesmerize me, the way they sparkle and shine
Drinking that wine wine, wine
Keep your head stoned all the time

One snort of Ruby Port really ring the bell
Then a glass of Muscatel sets my head up well
Then this sweetest bottle of cheapest sherry wine
I say goodbye to my mind

While folks around me insist on starting wars (baloney!)
Fighting and a-hollering, getting awful sore
Politics and business, I don't pay them no mind
Drinking that wine wine, wine
Keep your, head stoned all the time
(Tell the truth)

One snort of Ruby Port really ring the bell
Then a glass of Muscatel sets my head up well
Then this sweetest bottle of cheapest sherry wine
I say goodbye to my mind

While folks around me insist on starting wars
Fighting and a-hollering, getting awful sore
Politics and business, I don't pay them no mind
Drinking that wine wine, wine
Keep your head stoned all the time

Get out the bathtub, grandma, and take off your socks!
