Kingston Trio The Wines Of Madeira Lyrics

The Wines Of Madeira Lyrics

I've tasted the wines of France

And I've tasted the wines of Spain

And though many a wine is the same

There are none like the wines of Madeira



I've courted the girls of France

And I've courted the girls of Spain

And though most pretty girls are the same

There are none like the girls of Madeira.



Oh, the girls who tend the vineyards

In the provinces of France

Are the gayest girls for courting

And they love to sing and dance



And they're happy in their vineyards

And they smile upon romance

And indeed, I would defend for you

The provinces of France



But there's not a vineyard anywhere

That can compare with what I know

Why? I'll tell you why or better yet

Come and we'll go



Oh, the girls who tend the vineyards

In the provinces of Spain

They are spirited and fiery

Whether beautiful or plain



They are splendid in their vineyards

In their languorous refrain

And indeed, I would defend for you

The provinces of Spain



But there's not a vineyard anywhere

That can compare with what I know

Why? I'll tell you why or better yet

Come and we'll go



You boast of the wines in France

And you boast of the wines in Spain

But your boast makes it very plain

That you not had the wines of Madeira



You boast of the girls in France

And you boast of the girls in Spain

But your boast makes it very plain

That you've not seen the girls of Madeira
