Take my wealth and family,

Leave me hanging on the vine,

Take my health and memory,

Just don’t take my cheap red wine.

Ha ha ha, cheap red wine,

Pour a glass to pass the time.

Ha ha ha, cheap red wine,

Don’t remember why I’m cryin’.

Some drink beer or rye whiskey,

Some like pot or LSD,

Crystal meth or ecstasy,

Just ferment the grape for me.

Ha ha ha, cheap red wine,

Lift a glass to pass the time.

Ha ha ha, cheap red wine,

Don’t remember if I’m cryin’.

Heal the sick, cure the blind,

Cast out demons into swine,

But no trick was near as fine

As turning water into wine.

Ha ha ha, cheap red wine,

Drink a glass to pass the time.

Ha ha ha, cheap red wine,

Don’t remember, never mind.
