Lyrics Merle Haggard

Merle Haggard

Little Ole Wine Drinker Me

I'm praying for rain in California

So the grapes can grow and they can make more wine

And I'm a sittin' at a honky'n in Chicago

With a broken heart and a woman on my mind

I match the man behind a bar for the jukebox

And the music takes me back to Tennessee

When they ask who's the fool in the corner cryin'

I say a little ole wine drinker me

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

I match the man behind a bar,

Yeah I say a little ole wine drinker me
