Mel Tillis Lyrics
"Little Ole Wine Drinker Me"

(Hank Mills - Dick Jennings)

I'm prayin' for rain in California
So the grapes can grow and they can make more wine
And I'm a sittin' in a honky in Chicago
With a broken heart and a woman on my mind.

I asked the man behind the bar about 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.

--- Instrumental ---

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

I asked the man behind the bar about 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.

Little ole wine drinker me...
