(Hendricks)
|
|
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) .......
