lyrics for I'm gonna hire a wine'O

[Mervyn Mullin]

I'm not sure who sings it but I'd like to get the lyrics for the song I'm
gonna hire a win'o. I think Mac Davis sang it. Or maybe George Jones.

I'd appreciate your help

hi there-- the song was written by Dewayne Blackwell it was a hit in 1983.
here are the lyrics:

I'm Gonna Hire A Wino To Decorate Our Home
__________________________________________

i came crawlin home last night like many nights before
i finally made it to my feet as she opened up the door
and she said "you're not gonna do this anymore" - she said:

Chorus
-------
I'm gonna hire a wino to decorate our home
so you'll feel more at ease here and you won't need to roam
we'll take out the dining room table put a bar along that wall
and a neon sign will point the way to our bathroom down the hall


she said: just bring those friday paychecks
and i'll cash 'em all right here
'n i'll keep on tap for all your friends
their favorite kind of beer
and for you i'll always keep in stock
those soft aluminum cans
and when you're feelin macho
you can crush 'em like a man

she said: we'll rip out all the carpet and put sawdust on the floor
serve hard boiled eggs 'n pretzels and i won't cook no more
there'll be monday night football on tv above the bar
and a pay phone in the hallway when your friends can't find their car

(chorus)

she said: you'll get friendly service and for added atmosphere
i'll slip on something sexy and cut it clear to here
then you can slap my bottom everytime you tell a joke
just as long as you keep on tippin'
well i'll laugh until you're broke

she said: instead of a family quarrel we'll have a barroom brawl
when the hamm's bear says it's closin' time
you won't have far to crawl and when you run out of money
then you'll have me to thank
you can sleep it off the next morning
while i'm puttin' it in the bank. she said:

i'm gonna hire a wino to decorate our home
so you'll feel more at ease here and you won't need to roam
then when you and your friends get off from work
and you have a powerful thirst
well, there won't be any reason why
you can't stop off here first.

I'm gonna hire a wino to decorate our home,
So you feel more at ease dear,
And you won't need to roam,
We'll take out the dining room table,
And put a bar a long that wall,
An a neon light that points the way to our bathroom down
the hall.

Sung by a women, this is a classic bit of Country music.
Patsy Kline? I can't remember.

wasnt a woman it was a man with 2 zz in his name like hazzard or drzzle
or something like that

I believe the singer you're thinking of is Merle Haggard. Not quite
sure, but he's the only singer of that type/era that immediately comes to
mind.
