You say you’re headed out to California
You’ve heard the grapes are fallin’ from the vines
I was hopin’ you might have the urge to write me
But I don’t believe you will, so never mind

I was talkin’ to a man down at Conesco
And he thought they might be hiring any time
I’m so tired of going any way the wind blows
And I thought that me and you, but never mind

CHORUS:

Never mind, never mind
I’m just talkin’ through the wine
And you know that drinkin’ always makes me sad
But before this night is through
I’d better say I love you
Or I’m gonna always wish that I had

VERSE:

First saw you pickin’ oranges in Orlando
And all day you kept your ladder close to mine
We froze in Georgia burned up in Chicago
And I always thought that we, but never mind

And did you know today my baby called you Daddy
Sometimes I’ve wished that she was yours and mine
I could call my brother Milt in Cincinnati
And ask him for a loan, but never mind

CHORUS:

Never mind, never mind
I’m just talkin’ through the wine
And you know that drinkin’ always makes me sad
But before this night is through
I’d better say I love you
Or I’m gonna always wish that I had
