Wonderful Wino |
| Bringing in the sheaves |
| bringing in the sheaves |
| we will come rejoicing |
| bringing in the sheaves |
| L.a. |
| in the summer of '69 |
| i went downtown and bought some wine |
| i wasted my head on 3 quarts of juice |
| and now the grapes won’t cut me loose |
| 'cause i’m a wino man |
| wino man |
| wino man |
| 36, 24, hips about 30 |
| (36, 24, hips about 30) |
| seen a fine lady and i started talkin' dirty |
| (seen a fine lady and i started talkin' dirty) |
| she looked at me and raised the thumb |
| (thumb, yeah) |
| and said: «jam down the road, you funky ass bum» |
| (jam it down, jam it down, funky ass bum, |
| that’s no way to talk to a lady!) |
| 'cause you’re a wino man |
| don’t you know i am? |
| wino man |
| I, i went to the country |
| and while i was gone |
| a roller-headed lady |
| caught me widdling on her lawn |
| i am so ashamed, 'cause i’m a wino man |
| and i can’t help myself |
| help me somebody! |
| I’m a wino man |
| wino man |
| wino man |
| My guitar playing |
| and my wino career are in a slump |
| 'cause i find myself now living |
| in a cardboard refrigerator box down by the houston dump |
| and, oh my god, i’m so fuckin' ashamed of myself |
| (so ashamed of myself) |
| everytime i get. |
| .. whooaaah! |
| I’ve been drinkin' all night till my eyes are gettin' red |
| well i crashed in the gutter and busted my head |
| bugs in my coat, been scratchin' like a dog |
| i can’t stand water, and i stink like a hog |
| give me five bucks |
| and a hot meal |
| give me five bucks |
| and a hot meal |
| give me five bucks |
| and a hot meal |
| give me fi-i-i-i-i-i. |
| .. |
| maybe an old overcoat or two |
| maybe an old overcoat or two |
| maybe an old overcoat or two |
| oh my god, i just love overcoats |
