Down in New Orlean, where ev'rything is fine
All them cats is drinkin that wine
Drinking that mess, their delight

When they gets drunk, start singing all night

Drinkin' wine spo-dee-O-dee, drinkin' wine (bop ba)

Wine spo-dee-O-dee, drinkin' wine (bop ba)
Wine spo-dee-O-dee, drinkin' wine (bop ba)
Pass that bottle to me


Drinking that mess, their delight
When they gets drunk, start fighting all night

Knocking down windows and tearin out doors
Drinkin' half a gallon and callin' for more


Drinkin' wine spo-dee-O-dee, drinkin' wine (bop ba)
Wine spo-dee-O-dee, drinkin' wine (bop ba)
Wine spo-dee-O-dee, drinkin' wine (bop ba)

Pass that bottle to me

Wine, wine, wine (Elderberry!)
Wine, wine, wine (Or Sherry!)
Wine, wine, wine (Blackberry!)

Wine, wine, wine (Half 'n half!)
Wine, wine, wine (Oh Boy!)
Pass that bottle to me


If you wanna get along, in New Orleans town
Buy some wine and pass it all around

All those cats they love sweet wine


Drinkin' wine spo-dee-O-dee, drinkin' wine (bop ba)
Wine spo-dee-O-dee, drinkin' wine (bop ba)

Drink that slop!
That's what I'm talkin' about!
Ah, drink it!

Sneaky Pete!

Now down on Rampart street at Willy's Den

He wasn't selling but a little gin
One cat wanted a bottle of wine
He hit that cat for a dollar and a dime


Drinkin' wine spo-dee-O-dee, drinkin' wine (bop ba)
Wine spo-dee-O-dee, drinkin' wine (bop ba)

Wine spo-dee-O-dee, drinkin' wine (bop ba)

Pass that bottle to me

I got a nickel, have you got a dime?

Let's get together and get a little wine
Some buys a fifth, some buys a quart
But when you buy Sherry now you're doing things smart


Drinkin' wine spo-dee-O-dee, drinkin' wine (bop ba)
Wine spo-dee-O-dee, drinkin' wine (bop ba)

Wine spo-dee-O-dee, drinkin' wine (bop ba)
Pass that bottle to me
