L.A. in the summer of '69
ย
I went downtown and bought some wine
I wasted my head on three quarts of juice
And now the grapes won't cut me loose
Well, I'm a wino man
Don't you know I am?
ย
36, 24, hips about 30
I've seen a fine lady and I started talkin' dirty
She looked at me and raised the thumb
And said, "Jam down the road, you funky-ass bum"
I'm a wino man
Don't you know I am?
ย
Well, I went to the country and while I was gone
A roller-headed lady caught me weedling on her lawn
I'm so ashamed but I'm a wino man and I can't help myself
Help me, somebody
ย
Well, I'm a wino man
Don't you know I am?
ย
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 I'm so ashamed
I've been drinkin' all night 'til my eyes are all red
Crashed in the gutter, got bugs in my head
Bugs in my clothes, I've 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
Some practical assistance and perhaps an old overcoat or two
Have mercy on the wino man
Have mercy, have mercy on the wino man
