Little Ole Wine Drinker Me by Merle Haggard Lyrics

Genre: country | Year: 1968

[Verse 1]
I'm praying for rain in California
So the grapes can grow and they can make more wine
And I'm a-sitting in a honky in Chicago
With a broken heart and a woman on my mind

[Chorus]
I matched the man behind the bar for the jukebox
And the music takes me back to Tennessee
When they ask, "Who's the fool in the corner crying?"
I say, "Little ole wine drinker me"

[Verse 2]
I came here last week from down in Nashville
'Cause my baby left for Florida on a train
And I thought I'd get a job and just forget her
But in Chicago, a broken heart is still the same

[Chorus]
I matched the man behind the bar for the jukebox
And the music takes me back to Tennessee
When they ask, "Who's the fool in the corner crying?"
I say, "Little ole wine drinker me"
Yeah I say, "Little ole wine drinker me"
