the queen's wino - joe may (usa) lyrics

the dollar is weak against major currencies
at the mini mart it’s gold
gary’s stop and shop has all you’d ever need
if you can name it, it’s been sold
you see him walking town with all his guards abound
if you see him you would know
he’s in his royal gown, he’s knighted by the crown
he’s the one they call the queen’s wino
the queen’s wino
oh, the queen’s wino

if you look in his eyes and ask him real nice
he’ll gift a story to your ear
it’s been told more than twice, he’ll ask you for a beer, buts it something that you’ll wanna hear
it was 1943, he a sad and lonely teen, holding on by his final breath
and this sweet young girl, she gave him all the world and her name was elizabeth

there he goes, the last true backstreet hero
in grand costume, you can’t assume, but people passing still label him a zero
the life he’s lived, the times he’s had all seem so grand, but n0body believes him
local drunk or global hunk, we’ll never know, but to this town he’ll always be the queen’s wino
oh, the queen’s wino

she had n0ble ancestors, he never would have guessed her, but he loved her for her loyalty
he was from rochester, son of an investor, but nothing close to royalty
he said run off with me, but her house still possessed her, he was left with a final plea
she said come be my jester, so his laughter could infect her, a drunkard working for the queen
working for the queen
there he goes, the last true backstreet hero
in grand costume, you can’t assume, but people passing still label him a zero
the life he’s lived, the times he’s had all seem so grand, but n0body believes him
local drunk or global hunk, we’ll never know, but to this town he’ll always be the queen’s wino
oh, the queen’s wino
