Little Ole Wine Drinker Me

Mel Tillis · The Best of Mel Tillis [MCA] [1990]

(Hank Mills - Dick Jennings)



I'm prayin' for rain in California

So the grapes can grow and they can make more wine

And I'm a sittin' in a honky in Chicago

With a broken heart and a woman on my mind.



I asked the man behind the bar about the jukebox

And the music takes me back to Tennessee

When they ask who's the fool in the corner crying

I say little ole wine drinker me.



--- Instrumental ---



I came here last week from down in Nashville

'Cause my baby left for Florida on a train

I thought I'd get a mill job and just forget her

But in Chicago a broken heart is still the same.



I asked the man behind the bar about the jukebox

And the music takes me back to Tennessee

When they ask who's the fool in the corner crying

I say little ole wine drinker me.



Little ole wine drinker me...
