Richard Thompson - Drinking Wine Spo-Dee-O-Dee Lyrics

Richard Thompson Lyrics

"Drinking Wine Spo-Dee-O-Dee"
(originally by Sticks McGhee)

Well down in New Orleans everything's fine
All of them cats drinking that wine
Drinking that mess out in the street
Makes you feel good from your head to your feet

Drinking wine spo-dee-o-dee, drinking wine
Drinking wine spo-dee-o-dee, drinking wine
Drinking wine spo-dee-o-dee
Won't you pass that bottle to me?

Well I got a nickel, honey you got a dime
Let's get together and buy some wine
Wine over here, wine over there
Drinking that mess everywhere

Drinking wine spo-dee-o-dee, drinking wine
Drinking wine spo-dee-o-dee, drinking wine
Drinking wine spo-dee-o-dee
Won't you pass that bottle to me?

I got a nickel, honey you got a dime
Let's get together and buy some wine
Wine over here, wine over there
Drinking that mess everywhere

Drinking wine spo-dee-o-dee, drinking wine
Drinking wine spo-dee-o-dee, drinking wine
Wine spo-dee-o-dee
Won't you pass that bottle to me?

Well wine, wine, wine, elderberry
Wine, wine, wine, or cherry
Wine, wine, wine, blackberry
Wine, wine, wine, huckleberry
Wine, wine, wine, oh Lord
Pass that bottle to me

Well wine, wine, wine, elderberry
Wine, wine, wine, or cherry
Wine, wine, wine, blackberry
Wine, wine, wine, huckleberry
Wine, wine, wine, oh Lord
Won't you pass that bottle to me?
