Dinah Washington
And Her Tears Flowed Like Wine
He would spend it on the poniesHe would spend it on the girlsBuy his mother gin and rosesFor her poor old hennaed curlsAnd when his wife said, "Hey nowWhat did you get for me?"He socked her in the chopperSuch a sweet, sweet guy was he[Chorus]And her tears flowed like wineYes, her tears flowed like wineShe's a real sad tomatoShe's a busted valentineKnows her mama done told herThat her man is darned unkindHow he loved the old race horsesHe would bet them every dayOne day he caught a winnerAnd the cabbage wasn't hayHe indulged in fancy spendingOrdered rings, cars, and fursBut alas, alackLike a stab in the backShe found out they were not hersSongtexte[Chorus]He got mixed up with a MaisieHe got mixed up with a FloSo Flo shoved him in the riverHe'll not get mixed up no moreHis wife then draped herself in blackThat showed her figure fineThen she cussed him out, the two-faced guyNo insurance could she find[Chorus]
