Gene Watson - Wino's Prayer lyrics

rate me

(Dave Kirby (RIP) - L. Kirby)

I saw the ole man shuffle down the street

His rotten shoes were tied around his feet

I saw him stagger just before he fell

And heard him mention something about hell.

Lord, you know it's raining in my mind

And you can turn the water into wine

Please, just give me one more second chance

Play me something you know I can dance.

Chorus:

Lord, help me make this day, don't call me home

I swear I'll make tomorrow on my own

Lord, send me just a half a pint to let me know you care

Or this ole wino just won't have a prayer.

--- Instrumental ---

(Spoken)

I was passing by the other day

Heard the old man finally passed away.

(Sang)

Someone said it got him in his prime

'Cause he still had a half a pint of wine.

(Spoken)

Then I heard him say.

Chorus:

Lord, help me make this day, don't call me home

I swear I'll make tomorrow on my own

Lord, send me just a half a pint to let me know you care

Or this ole wino just won't have a prayer.

Oh, this ole wino just won't have a prayer.

(Oh, how sweet the sound...)
