Artist/Band: Dinah Washington
Lyrics for Song: And Her Tears Flowed Like Wine
Lyrics for Album: Wise Woman Blues [1997]



He would spend it on the ponies


He would spend it on the girls


Buy his mother gin and roses


For her poor old hennaed 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





[Chorus]


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





[Chorus]





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





[Chorus]
