A child walked in a candy store in faded overalls
|
Put a nickel on the counter said I think I'll spend it all
|
I've carried it three months or more you can tell it by the shine
|
Now I need a sack of candy like my daddy needs his wine
|
Daddy and the wine goes back three years out of my age
|
In the old days we were happy dad worked hours long and late
|
Then mama disappeared one day and so did daddy's mind
|
And now it's me and daddy mostly daddy and the wine
|
[ fiddle ]
|
The child picked up the sack and then he wandered on outside
|
We put a roll of green among the jelly beens inside
|
The clerk was broke and so was I we gave him our last dime
|
A stranger stole his mommy now his daddy's on the wine
|
Daddy and the wine...
