I'll keep the close watch on this batch of mine
I'll keep the airlock bubbling all the time
I'll keep the taste not icky but just fine
because it's mine -
my home-made wine

I found it very, very easy to make brew
I found that yeast will ferment all that stew
I found that air should never let be through
or it spoilt is mine
my home-made wine

As sure as 'tinto's red and 'blanc' is white
I'll keep it brewing three weeks day and night
And then decanting will tell me if it is right
I'll make it fine
my home-made wine

I've bought a barrel made of oaken wood
I'll store the wine and let it become good
It becomes mature and then it's good with food
It's drinking time
my home-made wine

I'll keep the close watch on this batch of mine
I'll keep the airlock bubbling all the time
I'll keep the taste not icky but just fine
because it's mine -
my home-made wine
