beggin' for money the ol' hard way
lookin' for handouts all night and day
i can buy...a jug of red, in time
beggin' for wine (beggin' for wine)

here i camp...this might take hours
i stand in heat...i stand in showers
when i get my fix, i'll be just fine
beggin' for wine (beggin' for wine)
beggin' for wine (beggin' for wine)

its no crime
to beg in this town of mine
i'll even take a dime
for juice from the grape vine
beggin' for wine (beggin' for wine)

love that free and easy spirit
i get high just bein' near it
diggin' the buzz that i get
i just lose my mind
beggin' for wine (beggin' for wine)

my nose shines
i'll damage my brain in time
but yet, i will drink till blind
i don't need the good kind

beggin' for wine (beggin' for wine)
beggin' for wine (beggin' for wine)
beggin' for wine (beggin' for wine)
