Lavay Smith & Her Red Hot Skillet Lickers Follow

He would spend it on the ponies, he would spend it on the girls
buy his mother gin and roses for her poor old henna'ed curls
but when his wife said "hey now," what did you get for me, he socked her in the choppers, such a sweet, sweet guy was he.

And Her Tears Flowed Like wine,
yes And Her Tears Flowed Like Wine -
she's a real sad tomato, she's a busted Valentine
'cause her mama done told her, that the man is darned unkind

How he loved the old racehorses, he would bet them everyday, one day he caught the winner, and the cabbage wasn't hay
he indulged in fancy spending - ordered rings, cars and furs but a laughs a laugh, like a stab in the back, she found out they were not hers

And Her Tears Flowed Like wine,
yes And Her Tears Flowed Like Wine -
she's a real sad tomato, she's a busted Valentine
'cause her mama done told her, that the man was darned unkind

He caught mixed up with a Maisie,
he caught mixed up with a Flo,
so Flo shoved him in the river,
he'll not get mixed up no more,
his wife then draped herself in black,
that showed her figure fine
then she cussed him out the two faced guy,
no insurance could she find

And Her Tears Flowed Like wine,
yes And Her Tears Flowed Like Wine -
she's a real sad tomato, she's a busted Valentine
cause her mama done told her, that the man was darned unkind
