Eyes bloody red, face puffy white
Hair tangled up and wrinkled old clothes
I'm a living example of a big overdose of

[Chorus]
Wine, women and loud happy songs
I had all three but none lasted long
The women ran off, I drank all the wine
And the songs died away when I ran out of dimes

[Verse]
It's strange how the wine works on a fool
It seeps through his mind, leaves him glued to the stool

[Chorus]
Wine, women and loud happy songs
I had all three but none lasted long
The women ran off, I drank all the wine
And the songs died away when I ran out of dimes

Best known as the drummer for The Beatles, Ringo Starr (born Richard Starkey, 1940) also had a moderately successful solo career (with hits like “It Don’t Come Easy” and “Photograph”) and was the narrator for Thomas The Tank Engine.

His country-infused nickname emerged from a tendency to wear rings on his fingers.
