And Her Tears Flowed Like Wine |
He would spend it on the ponies, |
He would spend it on the girls, |
Buy his mother gin and roses |
For her poor old henna’d curls. |
And when his wife said, «Hey now! |
What did you get for me?» |
He socked her in the chopper, |
Such a sweet sweet guy was he! |
And her tears flowed like wine, |
Yes her tears flowed like wine, |
She’s a real sad tomato, |
She’s a busted valentine. |
Knows her mama done told her |
That her man is darned unkind. |
How he loved the old race horses, |
He would bet them every day. |
One day he caught a winner |
And the cabbage wasn’t hay! |
He indulged in fancy spending, |
Ordered rings, cars and furs, |
But alas, alack, |
Like a stab in the back, |
She found out they were not hers! |
And her tears flowed like wine, |
Yes her tears flowed like wine, |
She’s a real sad tomato, |
She’s a busted valentine. |
Knows her mama done told her |
That her man is darned unkind. |
He got mixed up with a Maisie, |
He got mixed up with a Flo, |
So Flo shoved him in the river, |
He’ll not get mixed up no more! |
His wife then draped herself in black |
That showed her figure fine, |
Then she cussed him out, the two-faced guy, |
No insurance could she find. |
And her tears flowed like wine, |
Yes her tears flowed like wine, |
She’s a real sad tomato, |
She’s a busted valentine. |
Knows her mama done told her |
That her man is darned unkind. |
