Wino Man (live at the Fillmore East 1970) - Frank Zappa
Bringing in the sheaves
Bringing in the sheaves
We will come rejoicing
Bringing in the sheaves
L.A. in the summer of '69
I went downtown and bought some wine
I wasted my head on three quarts o' juice
And now the grapes won't turn me loose
I'm a wino man, don't you know I am
36, 24, hips about 30
(36, 24, hips about 30)
I seen some witch and I started talkin' dirty
(Seen a fine lady and I started talkin' dirty)
She looked at me and raised her thumb
Thumb yea-eah
And said jam down the road, you funky-*ss bum
'Cause I'm a wino man, know I am
I, I went to the country
And while I was gone
A roller-headed lady
Caught me weedlin' on her lawn
I'm so ashamed, but I'm a wino man
I can't help myself
Oh yeah
Wino man, don't you know I am
Well, my drug indulgence
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 been drinkin' all night and my eyes are all red
Crashed in the gutter and busted my head
Give me five bucks and a hot meal
Give me fi-i-i-i-ive bucks and a hot meal
(Give me fi-i-i-i-i-ive bucks and a hot meal)
I tell you everytime I get a chance, oh yeah
