Put a nickel in the jukebox and let it play 
For my heart is cold with its pain
Take the cork from the bottle of The Warm Red Wine
And fill my glass up again
Fill my glass up to the brim
Till it flows over the rim
Like the tears flow in this heart of mine
While I say so long to the dreams that are gone
On account of The Warm Red Wine

Oh, the prison of stone with its cold iron bars is no more a prison than mine
I am a prisoner of drink, who will never escape 
From the chains of The Warm Red Wine
Oh, the wine is red, so warm and red
Like a ruby it sparkles and gleams
But I paid for the wine
The Warm Red Wine
With all my hopes and dreams
