Down in New Orleans where everything's fine all them cats is drinkin' that wine

Drinkin' that mess is their delight when they get drunk start singin' all night

Drinkin' wine spo-dee-o-dee drinkin' wine wine spo-dee-o-dee drinkin' wine

Wine spo-dee-o-dee drinkin' wine pass that bottle to me



Now I've got a nickel have you got a dime let's get together and get a little wine

Some buys a gallon some buys a quart

When you buy black beer now you're doin' things smart

Drinkin' wine spo-dee-o-dee...

Down on Rempart Street in Willie's den he would sell but a gill of gin

One cat wanted a bottle of wine he hooked that cat for a dollar and a dime

Drinkin' wine spo-dee-o-dee...
