The Lyrics
ATF: Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms. The last line refers to a slang term for prison, "cooler."
I'm a wine man in a dry country,
But I try grapes: Bordeaux.
Plant 'em in the sun, hopin' that I'll make more grow.
No beer-brew drinkin'; no desire,
I won't cheer and raise a stein.
I'm a Wichita wine man;
A still's not for wine.
Bordeaux--I need a large libation,
But the ATF reigns.
And if it grows then's sent to mouth
That's as bad as grown grain
That you feed into a pot; you
Then distill--also a crime.
Now this whipped-by-law wine man's
Been chilled, doing time.
But I try grapes: Bordeaux.
Plant 'em in the sun, hopin' that I'll make more grow.
No beer-brew drinkin'; no desire,
I won't cheer and raise a stein.
I'm a Wichita wine man;
A still's not for wine.
Bordeaux--I need a large libation,
But the ATF reigns.
And if it grows then's sent to mouth
That's as bad as grown grain
That you feed into a pot; you
Then distill--also a crime.
Now this whipped-by-law wine man's
Been chilled, doing time.
