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 nightDrinkin' 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 meNow 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
