Down in New Orleans, where everything's fine
All them people just sockin' that wine
Drinkin' wine is their delight
And when they get drunk, they start fightin' all night
Knockin' shop windows and breakin' down doors
Drinkin' half-gallons and shoutin' for more

You got a nickel and I got a dime
Let's get together and buy some wine
Some buy a pint and some buy a quart
But if you buy a half-gallon, you're playin' it smart
Drinkin' wine, wine, wine
Everybody pass that bottle to me

Wine, wine, wine
(Elderberry)
Wine, wine, wine
(Port or sherry)
Wine, wine, wine
(Sweet Lucy)
Wine, wine, wine
(Father Bird Wine)
Wine, wine, wine
Everybody pass that bottle to me
