We have Don't Sell Daddy No More Whiskey, but only a passing mention of "No More Wine".

There is also one called "Please Sell No More Drink to My Father" -- actually a pretty good song on that theme. I think it was a music-hall song; I have it on Elsa Lanchester's record.

I think that the New Christie Minstrels recorded this in the 60s. A more poignant song on the same theme: "Father Dear Father Come Home".

Here's a clue for Sorcha & the other sleuths to go on -? Remember hearing the song (my Era); haven't found the lyrics yet. I thought it was New Christy Minstrels too but seems to be The Greenwoods.

9. PLEASE DON'T SELL MY DADDY NO MORE WINE
(Red Lane) « © '69 Tree Publishing »

Please don't sell my daddy no more wine no more wine
Mama don't want him drinking all the time
Please don't sell my daddy no more wine no more wine
He may be no good but he's still mine

Late one night in Old Joe's friendly barroom two men were standin' drinking all alone
Thinkin' of the days they were younger talkin' about the women they had known
When there in the dim light of the tavern a sweet young girl came softly to their side
And two one man surprised looked upon two tear stained eyes
And saw his own sweet daughter's there a cryin' Please don't sell my daddy...

My daddy used to buy me pretty dresses
Now it's only hand-me-downs and worn out shoes
It's because of you I know that I wear these ragged clothes
For you're the man who sells my daddy booze
Her father looked down on the glass that he was holding
As the teardrops trickled down his solemn face
I been here Joe so long now it's time that I was gone
Going home to stay I'll never see this place
Please don't sell my daddy...
Don't you do it don't you do it don't you sell my daddy no more wine no more wine
He may be no good but he's still mine

Thanks to you Pooks,sorcha,sinsull and joe f.Re lyrics for "Please dont sell my daddy no more wine". You have made an old Lancashire Lad happy. I've been singing a totally different version which is not half as good as your version. Once into a dark and dreary bar-room Walked a little boy of eight or nine He walked up to the bar and said barman please dont sell my daddy no more wine

I've been singing the above,being the only bits I knew for about 30 years.Usually when I am on the outside of several pints of "Boddies"

Guestjimhamer, you're most welcome & enjoy!

But now I'm intrigued by *your* version sung these 30 years gone. To me, that fragment looks promising. "Must have it...Must have it..." Different tastes. (Boddies?? Confess ignorance. Tell.) SORCHAAAA??? dark and dreary bar-room....boy of eight or nine....

Outside o' the pints, hee hee, amen. Flirtatious Flapper: "Oh won't you join me in a bottle of champagne?" W.C. Fields: "Yesss, you get in first and if there's room enough I'll join yaaaaa...." ("International House")

Hi Pooka Re My version of please don't sell my daddy... I only know the opening verse that I picked up on a night out in Manchester eons ago.An interesting lady taught me that morsel,but she put her hand on my leg and being 16 at the time I ran for the door.She had a "face like a robbers dog" as we say. Regarding Boddies,its our local beer here in the North and I'm off now to the Top Bull pub to re-aquaint my self with it's taste. Well thanks for the info mate Jim
