A road crew of only two riding with the fill In the bed of a county pickup truck Patching potholes in the late summer heat Singing “Red, Red Wine” over and over
“Red, Red, Wine”
One takes off his sweat-soaked striped shirt A voice from the cab tells him to put it back on They stop and take shovels and out they leap To shovel with the shovels fill into holes
“Red, Red Wine”
They sing those three words over and over The only words of that song they know
