Porter Wayne Wagoner (August 12, 1927 – October 28, 2007) was a popular American country music singer known for his flashy Nudie and Manuel suits and blond pompadour. In 1967, he introduced a then little known Dolly Parton on his long-running television show, and they were a well-known duet throughout the late 1960s and early 1970s. Known as Mr. Grand Ole Opry, Wagoner charted 81 singles from 1954–1983. He was elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame. more »

From a small country town to a big and lonely city
From a sweet country girl to a woman with no pity
Once a man with money, now so ragged and funny as he cries
One dime for wine, Mister, one dime for wine

From a cool shady lane to a hard concrete jungle
From a man once respected to a man so low and humble
Once so full of pride now hangs his head and softly cries
One dime for wine, Mister, one dime for wine

What makes this man stoop so low and beg for money?
Who is the man holding out his hand, who could he be?
Then I saw my own sad reflection in the water
In the gutter off the street and I realized that lowly man is me
One dime for wine, Mister, one dime for wine
