Intro
Mother liked her white wine, when she was alive
She was desperate to live, but her limit was five
Carefully I'd kiss her, and send her off to bed
Thank God we stuck with white wine, and stayed away from red
Always stick with white wine and stay away from...
Mother liked her white wine, and she'd have a glass or two

When we got to the old man then I'd always switch to...
Mother liked her white wine and she'd have a glass or 4

When I'm with a woman that I want to take to bed
When I'm with a woman that I want to take to...
Mother liked her white wine, when she was alive
She was desperate to live, but her limit was five
Carefully I'd kiss her, and send her off to bed
Thank God we stuck with white wine, and stayed away from red
Always stick with white wine, and stay away from
Mother liked her white wine
