WINE, WOMEN AND LOUD HAPPY SONGS
(Larry Kingston)


Ringo Starr - 1970





Look at me now, ain't I a sight
Eyes bloody red, face puffy white
Hair tangled up and wrinkled old clothes
I'm a livin' example of a big overdose of
Wine, women and loud happy songs
I've had all three, but none lasted long
The women ran off, I drank all the wine
And the songs died away when I ran out of dimes

(Instrumental Break)

It's strange how the wine works on a fool
It seeps through his mind, leaves him glued to the stool
Women leave you wishing you'd just never been
But the songs make you happy, soon you're searchin' again
For wine, women and loud happy songs
I've had all three, but none lasted long
The women ran off, I drank all the wine
And the songs died away when I ran out of dimes
