Lyrics

L.A. in the summer of '69 I went downtown and bought some wine Wasted my head on three quarts of juice And now the grapes won't turn me loose Well I'm a wino man Don't you know I am? 36, 24, hips about 30 I seen a fine lady and I start talkin' dirty She looked at me and raised her thumb And said: "Jam down the road, you funky-ass bum" I'm a wino man Don't you know I am? 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 I can't help myself Help me somebody! Well I'm a wino man Don't you know I am? 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 and my eyes are all in red Crashed in the gutter and 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 fi-i-ive bucks and a hot meal Give me five bucks and a hot meal Some practical instances and perhaps some all over coder too HelpMercy on the wino man HelpMercy, HelpMercy on the wino man
