Lyric for the day
Cos I gave credit more to Sonny than Brownie in the last post I am gonna honour Brownie through his older brother Sticks.
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
Wine Drinkin Spo-Dee-O-Dee - Sticks McGhee
Granville Henry McGhee, also known as Stick (or Sticks) McGhee was in the military and he used to sing it as Wine Drinkin Motherfucker but when recorded it was cleaned up to Spo-Dee-O-Dee... So a first for Lyric for the Day here's round 2 of the same song...
Drinkin’ that mess is our delight,
And when we get drunk, start fightin’ all night.
Knockin’ out windows and learnin’ down doors,
Drinkin’ half-gallons and callin’ for more.
Drinkin’ wine motherfucker, drinkin’wine! Goddam!
Drinkin’ wine motherfucker, drinkin’wine! Goddam!
Drinkin’ wine motherfucker, drinkin’wine! Goddam!
Pass that bottle to me!
I know which version I prefer!

One of the songs that makes my world go round (literally, after a few too many Newckie Browns). And 'Drunk', Jimmy/Joe Liggins...
