- David Frizzell performing I'm Gonna Hire A Wino
Lyrics:
I came crawling home last night, like many nights before:
I finally made it to my feet as she opened up the door.
And she said, "You're not gonna do this anymore."
She said: "I'm gonna' hire a wino to decorate our home,
"So you'll feel more at ease here, and you won't have to roam.
"We'll take out the dining room table, and put a bar along that wall.
"And a neon sign, to point the way, to our bathroom down the hall."
She said: "Just bring your Friday paycheck, and I'll cash them all right here.
"And I'll keep on tap - for all your friends, their favorite kinds of beer.
"And for you, I'll always keep in stock, those soft aluminum cans.
"And when you're feeling macho, you can crush them like a man."
She said: "We'll rip out all the carpet, and put sawdust on the floor.
"Serve hard boiled eggs and pretzels, and I won't cook no more.
"There'll be Monday night football, on T.V. above the bar.
"And a pay phone in the hallway, when your friends can't find their car."
She said: "I'm gonna' hire a wino to decorate our home,
"So you'll feel more at ease here, and you won't have to roam.
"We'll take out the dining room table, and put a bar along that wall.
"And a neon sign, to point the way, to our bathroom down the hall."
She said: "You'll get friendly service, and for added atmosphere.
"I'll slip on something sexy, and I'll cut it clear to here.
"Then you can slap my bottom, every time you tell a joke.
"Just as long as you keep tipping, well, I'll laugh until you're broke."
She said: "Instead of family quarrels, we'll have a bar-room brawl,
"When the Ham's bear say's its closing time, you won't have far to crawl.
"And when you run out of money, you'll have me to thank.
"You can sleep it off next morning, when I'm putting it in the bank."
She said: "I'm gonna' hire a wino, to decorate our home,
"So you can feel more at ease here, and you won't have to roam.
"When you and your friends get off from work, and have a powerful thirst.
"There won't be any reason, why you can't stop off here first."
She said: "I'm gonna' hire a wino to decorate our home,
"So you'll feel more at ease here, and you won't have to roam.
"We'll take out the dining room table, and put a bar along that wall.
"And a neon sign, to point the way, to our bathroom down the hall."

They don't know how love the old country
If you have heard him sing you already know how good he is. But, if you haven't heard from him, listen to Mo Pitney singing Mel Street's "Borrowed Angel."
We all grew up in the bar at home geezus

*You don't hear this music on the radio anymore so I came here to get my younger years back I'm 66 yrs old thanks to everyone that is listening to these oldies but goodies ✨😊*
Yept I am 67 and I still love it.
Love this 💯💯 Classic Country GOLD💯
I'm 34 an listening thanks to my papaw and my little granny helping my daddy to raising me.
Brings me so many many cherished memories and I'd give anything to have them back with me to make many more.
Sometimes feel I'm losing my mind worth them not here.
Radio station a.m. 650 still plays all these great old songs and on Friday and Saturday nights they play the grand ole opry. Enjoy the memories, that’s all some of us have left of these good ole days.
Damn right we loosing all the good music like this, wish they would bring back these old songs, life was worth living back then.
Every time i heard this song my dad sang along with it!he has passed away now but it still feels like hes here when i hear this song!Love you always dad ! Your gone but not forgotten!
My dad did the same. There singing this now ❤
When this song was popular, my parents owned a bar in a small farming town, and if I heard this song once a day, it was a VERY slow business day. I remember being willing to pay to NEVER hear this song again before I was 20; now, at the age of 58, all I have to do is think of the title, and some of the best memories all come flooding back in an instant. Let it be a lesson to all that you never know what your favorite memories will be while you’re busy making them.
Thanks for this comment, you make a good point.
I first heard this song in Boston, on an Album Oriented Rock station. Not their normal cup of tea, but the morning drive dj thought the song was priceless wanted to share it.
It reminded me of the small farming town that I was from.
I remember David Allen Coe You never call me by my name, whenever that song was played at our bar everybody would sing it loud and proud!!! Your absolutely right, the memories I have are so great to look back on!!! Many years of being a biker and just riding drinking and having fun!!! Wish I could go back and do it all over again!!!
What you mean back when it was popular ur here jamming it so it’s still possible
@@kansas3332 It’s not on the charts, is it? In fact, I don’t hear it on radio any longer, commercial or Sirius. The point of my comment is that 40 years puts a different perspective on how you think about your life.
@@LTJC70 I wouldn’t want to go back necessarily; where I was once young and impressionable, now I’m older and much less malleable. In fact, the older me would hurt himself laughing at the younger me!
My husband who died in 2015 we used to go out n listen to these awesome songs n so 56 years later they are still tops in my book!!!!!
Amén don't for much new ctry.
These were the most clever lyrics in a Country song back in the day. Probably still are. Loved this song when it hit the charts.
You're right. This has the reputation with a lot of people of being a dumb song. I heard an interview with David Frizzell where he comments on how clever the lyrics are. I think the reason it became such a huge hit is that David, though he didn't write it, completely understood and respected it.
Not sure if anyone will see this 15 years later but this was one of my grandfathers favorite songs. He always said he wanted this played at his funeral and well that time finally came. I’ve been listening to a lot of those songs lately and this is one that will always get me
The first time my dad heard this song he got the biggest kick out of it. I still love it today.
Ts all good kiddo because its only the memories that we have of our loved ones gone from this earth. Cherish them.
Memories❤
Why don't they make music like this anymore. Love all the old country and old rock. They are the best to listen to
There is good shit still coming out its just much harder to wade thru all the shit!
Because no one knows how to have anymore.
Have fun oops Budweiser speaking*
Cuz you can't go out drinking anymore it's frowned upon
'Cause the 21st century sucks.
Probably one of the best country songs ever written!
This was my life in the old days thank God it ain't no more. My wife will verify that I couldn't handle this again, so I'm glad God give me a chance to change my life and quit all the stupid things I used to do. So anybody that live this kind of life I hope they have a chance to change thank you God
Really??you are going to come into the comments section of this classic tune and pray for the rest of us to clean up? Jesus, some folks have no tact. Have a drink. U were prob less of an ass hole.
I wasn't a wino-I was more beer and liquor man. I was a functioning alcoholic. I quit Christmas Eve 1981 because of a sacred promise to a 6 year old little girl I latter adopted. I married her mother January 28, 1982 and we were together until my wife passed away September 18, 2017 from a stroke. I am happy to say I have never relapsed even when my wife died.
This song always reminded me of my cousin and his wife he would get so drunk he beat his kids and wife and do some drunk driving went to jail for it and nearly lost his job they divorced and he died of a heart attack the kids are grown up and his wife married another man
this is true country music, grew up with this song loved it back then and still love it to this day..
John Deno, I remember my dad singing this when I was little. I miss those days.
Stop by my channel, see if ya like any covers I've got up. I got a nice Original called 80's blues.. Country at it's best. Thanks.. lol
John Deno lov this song this is when music was real music loved it then and lov it now y’all great song my friend
Gotta love real country music a lot better than the garbage they put out today
This Texas gal is very lucky to have a radio station in our small town vicinity. They play country classics and Tx music. Great music.
Are you talking about 104.1 The Ranch out of Tyler?

David frizzell one of my favorite country singers but hes never really got the respect he deserves.
Reminds me of my mom. She use to listen to all of these songs when I was a kid. Now I love them 25-30 years later
My mom used to love this song and another favorite of hers was Jose Quervo you are a friend of mine
My dad had this on cassette. He told me he bought it just for this song. 😅
I am so happy to hear this song, it was one of my mother's favorites and now mine too.
Amen to that I love old country singers i listen to them every Saturday night with my dad and he would pick me up and dance lots of memories Loved it❤❤❤❤❤

REAL COUNTRY MUSIC
One of THE most famous Classic country songs. Hilarious and creative and makes me laugh every time I listen to it.
funny how these old songs take you back 3 decay and still like it was yesterday
Did you just say three decades?? Come on girl lets try at least four, that will be close enough for me, LOL
Hey
this song never gets old
These country songs will never fade away. 🎶🎶😍😍🤘🤘
Yes for sure and I agree with you Pamela how are you doing
Music like this simply couldn’t be produced anymore because the music industry and society as a whole has gone downhill too much. All that can be done now is to just appreciate the good memories.
I love David frizzell and his good old country music I hope he's still making good old music
Music has lost a lot of its soul
This song was a hit when me and my wife was dating. Still got her 39 years later
That’s wonderful. There are not a lot of of marriages that last this long anymore. Keep it up
More power to you

Shirley Wilbanks hi
My MOMMA SANG THIS ALL THE TIME. SONG BRINGS SO MANY MEMORIES
I got to do lights and sound for him in the mid 80´s along with shelly west at the carousel lounge in pensacola ,Fl I was not a fan back then at 27 years old but I was wrong,I was a heavy metal head and did not appreciate country for the talent that is was ,I sure miss now
I've heard this song many of time's,but as I'm sitting here drinking, this is the best idea I've ever heard
I always listen to all the older song. Back during the 60s and 70s.
I had a little bar in Gatlinburg Tn. This was one of the favorite songs played on the jukebox
I love this song! Still sing it all the time. Learned the lyrics as soon as it came out. Love, love, love it
I love country music I was born n raised listening to Conway and Loretta, George Jones, Johnny Cash and June, and still love all of country music but now a days it's like it used to be don't get me wrong I just. miss the good ole days, each of you that has passed away you are always in my heart and you are missed by many blessings your way n always believe,
My uncle Dewayne wrote this and also Friends in Low Places, among others, but this was my favorite. He. My mom, and uncle Ron made records back in the late 50s, early 60s. They were The Blackwells. All have passed now. Mom and Dewayne in the last few years. Ron decsdes ago in an accident. Still fun to listen too.
I miss you! Have a wonderful day! 😁😘❤️🙏
What a great song and great performance! The insight of the song is how it can make the fella behaving like the hubby in the song smile yet (hopefully) *think* about his choices ad behavior. Brilliant.
This song is a classic and pure country music
One of my favorites by Mr. Frizzell
Loved this song years ago and love it still today.
David - Classic song! Legendary! I like wine 🍷. Jonny Weiss 🎶
Never heard this before its brilliant thanks for posting
Jody Lee my grandmother loved her wine but my grandfather had to limit her intake. He made his own wine which was kick ass and gave my grandmother a mason jar full each day and that was her limit unless they got company she would get extra. I often drank at ten am so she could have her extra glass or two and we would put on this song and sing like rock stars lol. I sure do miss her
Tim B. love this!!
beautiful
sounds like a country song
Sorry for your loss
Cal Smith the lord knows im drinking thats an old song. i had someone try to tell me there was no such song. lol. All this old songs bring back memorys from older days.

I remember hearing this song way back from when I was a small child and there was still some bars with sawdust dance floors. I still find it funny😂 and a great song💯❤💯
@michaelsmith3550 Hi Michael I'm doing fine thanks for asking 😊😊And yourself?
My friend DeWayne wrote this I was the first person to hear this song...the next song to hit the top was called the song that would never go away...Friends in low places the number 5 country song of all time...if I had to choose my favorite it would be the Carter Family...
Classic country is the best. Seems like the country music now is more rock
My momma would sing alone to this and to my sister about her old man !! Lol i miss my Mawmaw and when i hear this song i can hear her singing alone !! I love you momma a.k.a Mawmaw!!!

Her?
I'll never stop loving this song!
Love this song ❤❤❤❤❤❤
One of the greatest songs ever to play on our only radio station!
I was a kid in the early 2000s and my dad used to sing this almost every day. It annoyed me so much that I would blast my video game music from my room and drown him out. Now I wish I could hear his rendition just one more time.
Still love this song! Thsnks
One of the best We ever had/Like Brother/like Brother.

Looking back at the way i was raised compared to the life I lived after leaving home this has became a sort of anthem of mine. Never did anything like the song says but lived a bit on the wild and rough side out on the edge at times.
My grandmother owned a tavern in Great Meadows,NJ and I remember this one
thanks for that fuzzy feeling great tune...
Singing at the top of my lungs enjoying my own wine...oh great old stuff right here!!!
This song is perfect!! Been there done that wish I'd know this song back then.
