Painted Girls And Wine

(앨범: Wine Me Up - 1969)

Oh, it's funny how wine makes fools out of men around women
And it's funny how women love men till their money is gone

As I went down to Juarez town to buy my love a ring
I stopped me by the tavern where the painted woman sing
Says I I'll take one look inside but I'll not touch that wine
And in the morn I'll buy the ring and Mary will be mine

Oh, it's funny how wine makes fools out of men around women
And it's funny how women love men while the wine flows on
It's funny how wine makes fools out of men around women
And it's funny how women love men till their money is gone

I walked me in and sat me down beside the candle light
And a painted girl walked by and said are you alone tonight
I showed her all the money that would buy my Mary's ring
And soon the wine began to flow and we began to sing

Now I walk the streets of Juarez town with Mary on my mind
But every window I look me in there's painted girls and wine
I can't go on to Mary 'cause I don't have the right
So I'll stay here in Juarez town no matter what it brings

Oh, it's funny how wine...
