Drinking Wine Spo-Dee O’Dee

Lyrics

(1966, Memphis Beat version) 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, they 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, honey, you got a dime Let's get together, gonna have a little wine I buy it by the gallon I buy it by the quart When you buy blackberry now you're doin' things smart 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 Well, I was standing on Bourbon Street in Willie's den Papa Willie wouldn't sell but a little 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 Wine spo-dee-o-dee drinkin' wine Wine spo-dee-o-dee drinkin' wine Pass that bottle to me Wine, wine, wine, Elderberry Wine, wine, wine, or Sherry Wine, wine, wine, Blackberry Wine, wine, wine, half an' half Wine, wine, wine, oh boy Pass that bottle to me
