Wino’s Prayer Gene Watson

[Verse 1]
I saw the ole man shuffle down the street
His rotten shoes were tied around his feet
I saw him stagger just before he fell
And heard him mention something about hell

[Verse 2]
Lord you know it's raining in my mind
But you can turn the water into wine
Please just give me one more second chance
Play me something you know I can dance

[Chorus]
Lord help me make this day don't call me home
I swear I'll make tomorrow on my own
Lord send me just a half a pint to let me know you care
Or this old wino just won't have a prayer

[Verse 3]
I was passing by the other day
Heard the old man finally passed away
Someone said it got him in his prime
'Cause he still had a half a pint of wine
Then I heard him say

[Chorus]
Lord help me make this day don't call me home
I swear I'll make tomorrow on my own
Lord send me just a half a pint to let me know you care
Or this old wino just won't have a prayer
Or this old wino just won't have a prayer
