Lyrics
I love red wine, women and song
I love to drink, to dance, to sing
Pour wine, fill up your glass
And drink, forget the past
Moments of merry song last long
Where’er there’s wine, women and song
So, sing and dance, be gay
And you’ll keep young that way
I love wine, women and song
I love to drink, dance and sing
Wine makes men forget they’re old
That is what I have been told
Come with me and you’ll see, too
What a glass of wine could do
Wine shall give you hope to start
And it shall cheer your sad heart
Now sing a song and jest
And you’ll find at last
Drown your cares with some wine
And do no more pine
Try dance with blondie fair
Dance with her without care
Happiness you’ll find, and you’ll not pine
I like the Brunette dear
That is why I am here
I’ll make that darling mine
With some good red wine
Let music sweetly play
And our dear friends all say
Good luck and good health
To you and wealth
