I'm praying for rain in California
So the grapes willl grow and they can make more wine
And I'm sitting in a honkey in Chicago
With a broken heart and a woman on my mind
I ask the man behind the bar for the jukebox
And the music takes me back to Tennessee
And they ask who's the fool in the corner crying
I say (pause) a little old wine drinker me
E E E F (Key Change - up half tone to Key of F)
I came her last week from down in Nashville
'Cos my baby left for Florida on a train
I thought I'd get a job and just forget her
But in Chicago a broken heart is still the same
I ask the man behind the bar for the jukebox
And the music takes me back to Tennessee
When they ask who's the fool in the corner crying
I say (pause) a little old wine drinker me
I say (pause) a little old wine drinker me
