Drinkin' Wine Spo-Dee-O-Dee - Sonny Terry, Brownie McGhee

Down in New Orleans, where everything is fine

All them cats is drinkin' that wine

Drinking that mess to their delight

When they gets drunk, start singing all night

Drinkin' wine spo-dee-o-dee, drinkin' wine, bop ba

Wine spo-dee-o-dee, drinkin' wine, bop ba

Wine spo-dee-o-dee, drinkin' wine, bop ba

Pass that bottle to me

Drinking that mess to their delight

When they gets drunk, start fighting all night

Knocking down windows and tearin' out doors

Drinkin' half a gallons and callin' for more

Drinkin' wine spo-dee-o-dee, drinkin' wine, bop ba

Wine spo-dee-o-dee, drinkin' wine, bop ba

Wine spo-dee-o-dee, drinkin' wine, bop ba

Pass that bottle to me

Hoy, hoy, hoy

Wine, wine, wine, Elderberry

Wine, wine, wine, Port Sherry

Wine, wine, wine, Blackberry

Wine, wine, wine, half an' half

Wine, wine, wine, oh boy

Pass that bottle to me

If you wanna get along in New Orleans town

Buy some wine and pass it all around

Age runs up for tonight

All those cats they love sweet wine

Drinkin' wine spo-dee-o-dee, drinkin' wine, bop ba

Wine spo-dee-o-dee, drinkin' wine, bop ba

Wine spo-dee-o-dee, drinkin' wine, bop ba

Pass that bottle to me

Hoy, hoy

Wine, wine, wine, Elderberry

Wine, wine, wine, Port Sherry

Wine, wine, wine, Blackberry

Wine, wine, wine, half an' half

Wine, wine, wine, oh boy

Pass that bottle to me

Drink that slop

That’s what I’m talkin' about

Ah, drink it

Sneaky Pete

Now down on Rampart street at Willy’s Den

He wasn’t selling but a gill of gin

One cat wanted a bottle of wine

He hit that cat for a dollar and a dime

Drinkin' wine spo-dee-o-dee, drinkin' wine, bop ba

Wine spo-dee-o-dee, drinkin' wine, bop ba

Wine spo-dee-o-dee, drinkin' wine, bop ba

Pass that bottle to me

Hoy, hoy

Wine, wine, wine, Elderberry

Wine, wine, wine, Port Sherry

Wine, wine, wine, Blackberry

Wine, wine, wine, half an' half

Wine, wine, wine, oh boy

Pass that bottle to me

I’ve got a nickel, have you got a dime

Let’s get together and get a little wine

Some by the fifth, and some by the quart

Oh when you’re buying sherry, now you’re doing things smart

Drinkin' wine spo-dee-o-dee, drinkin' wine, bop ba

Wine spo-dee-o-dee, drinkin' wine, bop ba

Wine spo-dee-o-dee, drinkin' wine, bop ba

Pass that bottle to me
