I don't need no daimond ring.
I don't need no Cadilac car.
Just want to drink, my ripple wine,
Down in the lightnin' bar, in the lightnin' bar.

Some men value in fortune and fame.
I don't care about 'em none.
Just want to drink, my ripple wine,
Wanna have my good time fun, have my good time fun.

I don't need no daimond ring.
I don't need no Cadilac car.
Just want to drink, my ripple wine,
Down in the lightnin' bar, in the lightnin' bar. (Wo,
Yeah)

Wooo… When I die, don't bother me.

Don't bury me at all.
Place my livin' lovin' laughin' bones,
In a jar of alcohol, a hundred-proof alcohol.

(Everybody sing)
I don't need no daimond ring.
I don't need no Cadilac car.
Just want to drink, my ripple wine,
Down in the lightnin' bar, in the lightnin' bar.

I don't need no daimond ring.
I don't need no Cadilac car.
Just want to drink, my ripple wine.
Down in the lightnin' bar, in the lightnin' bar,
In the lightnin' bar, in the lightnin' bar.
