Drinkin' Wine Spo-De-O-De

Jerry Lee Lewis · Other Songs - Jerry Lee Lewis

Down in New Orleans where everything's fine

All them cats is drinkin' that wine

Drinkin' that mess is their delight when they get drunk

Start singin' all night



Drinkin' wine spo-dee-o-dee drinkin' wine

Wine spo-dee-o-dee drinkin' wine

Wine spo-dee-o-dee drinkin' wine

Pass that bottle to me



Now I've got a nickel, have you got a dime?

Let's get together and get a little wine

Some buys a gallon some buys a quart

When you buy black beer, now you're doin' things smart



Drinkin' wine spo-dee-o-dee

Down on Rempart Street in Willie's den

He would sell but a gill of gin

One cat wanted a bottle of wine

He hooked that cat for a dollar and a dime

Drinkin' wine spo-dee-o-dee

Drinkin' Wine Spo-De-O-De
