The Wines Of Madeira Lyrics - Kingston Trio

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
