DESCRIPTION:
Buddy, stay off that wine by J. Rogers

Now drinking wine is an old, old thing
Youve heard that all the queens and even the king of Egypt
Used to sip it now and then
But they didnt get drunk and fall on the floor
And turn round and run smack into a door
Like some of these modern wine drinking men

They drank their wine from a silver mug
And not somebodys old two-bit jug
And they always knew when they had had enough
And the wine they drank was mighty fine
Just like the juice right off the vine
Not anything like this new green stuff

Chorus: Buddy stay off of that wine
Although it makes you feel mighty fine
You can drink gin and beer (thats good)
You can drink liquor aged in wood
But buddy stay off of that wine

Now I saw a fellow the other day
Mooching everybody got in his way
And I could tell that boy wasnt well
So I took him into a joint
To buy him a drink and I ordered and shot
And what do you think
That character upd and ordered muscatel

I said boy, youre gonna lose your mind
If you keep on drinking that two-bit wine
Yourre gonna land up in the gutter as sure as, well
He got up with a stupid grin
And used his sleeve to wipe his chin
And when he walked away, he almost fell

Chorus

Now nobodys gonna call you a sinner
If you have a glass or two before dinner
And nobodys gonna say that you were out of line
But if youre a man who like to drink
And dont want to get so you cant think
Remember buddy, stay off of that wine

Cos when you get to craving that stuff
It means youve had more than enough
And then youre right on the danger line
So when you start to buy a drink
Stop think
Remember buddy, stay off of that wine

Chorus

Now if you dont want to hasten your recline
To that little box of pine
Remember buddy, stay off that wine
