Well my wife got tired of me running 'round, so she tried to keep me home |
|
She hid my clothes, |
|
She broke my nose |
|
But I continued to roam. |
|
Then she finally hit my weak spot - when she threw my bottle out |
|
Well, from the basement to the rooftop, everybody could hear me shout... |
|
Gimme that wine (Gimme that wine) |
|
Gimme that wine (Gimme that wine) |
|
Gimme that wine (Gimme that wine) |
|
'Cause I can't cut loose without my juice. |
|
(Got to have my hot Lucy when I go out walking sometimes) |
|
One day crossin the avenue, a big car knocked me down. |
|
I was stretched out tying up traffic and crowds came from blocks around |
|
While the police were searchin my pockets, before they sent me to the funeral parlour, |
|
One of those cops touched my bottle, Jack, I jumped straight up and commenced to hollar |
|
Gimme that wine (Gimme that wine) |
|
Gimme that wine (Gimme that wine) |
|
Gimme that wine (Gimme that wine) |
|
I just can't get well without Muskatel |
|
One real dark and dreary night while I was staggering home to bed,y'all |
|
A bandit jumped from the shadows and put a blackjack 'side my head. |
|
That cat took my watch, my ring, my money, and I didn't even make a sound, |
|
But when he reached up and got my bottle, you could hear me for blocks around |
|
Gimme that wine (Gimme that wine) |
|
Gimme that wine (Gimme that wine) |
|
Gimme that wine (Gimme that wine) |
|
Beat my head outta shape, but don't touch my grape. |
|
One day my house caught fire while I was laying down sleeping off a nap |
|
And when I woke up everything was burning with a pop and a crackle and a snap. |
|
Well the fireman broke up my TV set and they tore my apartment apart, |
|
But when he raised that axe to my bottle, Jack, I just cried with all my heart... |
|
I said gimme that wine (Gimme that wine) |
|
Gimme that wine (Gimme that wine) |
|
Gimme that wine (Gimme that wine) |
|
I'll just have one toast before I roast. |
|
Gimme that wine (Gimme that wine) |
|
Gimme that wine (Gimme that wine) |
|
Gimme that wine (Gimme that wine) |
|
Nothing but the best for me |
|
Wine (Gimme that wine) |
|
Just gimme that wine (Gimme that wine) |
|
Gimme that wine (Gimme that wine) |
|
I just can't get well without Muskatel |
|
I got to have some of that brew |
|
Gimme that wine (Gimme that wine) |
|
Gimme that wine (Gimme that wine) |
|
Gimme that wine (Gimme that wine) ....... |
