Drinking Wine Spo-Dee-O-Dee

(album: Come On Memphis - 1977)

Well down in New Orleans where everything's fine
All them cats is drinking that wine
Drinking that mess with delight
An' when they get drunk they fight all night

Drinking wine spo-dee-o-dee, wine bop-bop
Wine spo-dee-o-dee, drinking wine
Drinking wine spo-dee-o-dee, pass that bottle to me

Well I got a nickel, have you got a dime
Let's get together and buy a little wine
Some by the fifth, some by the quart
When you buy sherry, you're doing things smart

Drinking wine spo-dee-o-dee, wine bop-bop
Wine spo-dee-o-dee, drinking wine
Drinking wine spo-dee-o-dee, pass that bottle to me

Well, wine-wine-wine, ooh, wine-wine-wine
Yeah, wine-wine-wine, ooh, wine-wine-wine
Ooh down in New Orleans, pass that bottle to me
Drinking that mess with delight
An' when they get drunk they fight all night
Knocking down windows, bang down doors
Drinking half a gallon an' then holler for more
