Lyrics:

(Mel Tillis)

Wine, pretty red wine, pretty red wine
Pretty red wine, pretty red wine.

It cost me my family, it cost me my home
Gave me a dark dirty street to roam
Made me a drifter, made me a bum
Looking for a hand out, looking for a chum.

To get me wine, pretty red wine
Pretty red wine, pretty red wine
Wine, pretty red wine, pretty red wine
Pretty red wine, pretty red wine.

--- Instrumental ---

Wine, pretty red wine, pretty red wine
Pretty red wine, pretty red wine.

It's cold in the country, cold in the town
Cold anywhere when you sleep on the ground
I lost all my courage, I lost all my pride
Where oh Lordy, can a wine hide.

From wine, pretty red wine,
Pretty red wine, pretty red wine
Wine pretty red wine, pretty red wine
Pretty red wine, pretty red wine...
