Wonderful Wino Lyrics

Bringing in the sheaves
Bringing in the sheaves
We will come rejoicing
Bringing in the sheaves
L.a. in the summer of '69
I went downtown and bought some wine
I wasted my head on 3 quarts of juice
And now the grapes won't cut me loose
'cause i'm a wino man
Wino man

Wino man
36, 24, hips about 30
(36, 24, hips about 30)
Seen a fine lady and i started talkin' dirty
(seen a fine lady and i started talkin' dirty)
She looked at me and raised the thumb
(thumb, yeah)
And said: "jam down the road, you funky ass bum"
(jam it down, jam it down, funky ass bum,
That's no way to talk to a lady!)
'cause you're a wino man
Don't you know i am?
Wino man
I, i went to the country
And while i was gone
A roller-headed lady
Caught me widdling on her lawn
I am so ashamed, 'cause i'm a wino man
And i can't help myself
Help me somebody!
I'm a wino man
Wino man
Wino man
My guitar playing
And my wino career are in a slump
'cause i find myself now living
In a cardboard refrigerator box down by the houston dump
And, oh my god, i'm so fuckin' ashamed of myself
(so ashamed of myself)
Everytime i get . . . whooaaah!
I've been drinkin' all night till my eyes are gettin' red
Well i crashed in the gutter and busted my head
Bugs in my coat, been scratchin' like a dog
I can't stand water, and i stink like a hog
Give me five bucks
And a hot meal
Give me five bucks
And a hot meal
Give me five bucks
And a hot meal
Give me fi-i-i-i-i-i . . .
Maybe an old overcoat or two
Maybe an old overcoat or two
Maybe an old overcoat or two
Oh my god, i just love overcoats
