Drinkin' Wine Spo-Dee-O-Dee (04-13-49) - Wynonie Harris

Down in New Orleans, where everything’s fine

All of them cats is drinkin' that wine

Drinkin' that mess to their delight

And when they get high they start singin' all night

Drinkin' wine spo-dee-o-dee, drinkin' wine (Wine)

Wine spo-dee-o-dee, drinkin' wine (Wine)

Wine spo-dee-o-dee, drinkin' wine (Wine)

Pass that bottle to me

Drinkin' that mess to their delight

And when it gets rough, they start fightin' all night

Knockin' down windows and kickin' down doors

Drinkin' by the gallons and screamin' for more

Drinkin' wine spo-dee-o-dee, drinkin' wine (Wine)

Wine spo-dee-o-dee, drinkin' wine (Wine)

Wine spo-dee-o-dee, drinkin' wine (Wine)

Pass that bottle to me

Hoy, hoy

(Wine, wine, wine) Elderberry

(Wine, wine, wine) Or cherry

(Wine, wine, wine) Blackberry

(Wine, wine, wine) Half an' half

(Wine, wine, wine) Oh

Pass that bottle to me

Look out

Drink that mess

Put that bottle down, rip

Give ol' papa a little taste

Sweet Lucy

If you wanna get along in some strange town

Buy some wine an' pass it around

All of them cats will think you fine

All of them cats, they love sweet wine

Drinkin' wine spo-dee-o-dee, drinkin' wine (Wine)

Wine spo-dee-o-dee, drinkin' wine (Wine)

Wine spo-dee-o-dee, drinkin' wine (Wine)

Pass that bottle to me

I’ve got a nickel and you got a dime

Let’s get together and buy some wine

Some by the fifths, some by the quart

When you buy blackberry, you’re doing things smart

Drinkin' wine spo-dee-o-dee, drinkin' wine (Wine)

Wine spo-dee-o-dee, drinkin' wine (Wine)

Wine spo-dee-o-dee, drinkin' wine (Wine)

Give that bottle to me

Hoy hoy hoy

(Wine, wine, wine) Elderberry

(Wine, wine, wine) Sweet Lucy

(Wine, wine, wine) Nash Grace

(Wine, wine, wine) Got me down

Give that bottle to me
