Red Red Wine" is a song originally written, performed, and recorded by American singer Neil Diamond in 1967. It is included on Diamond's second studio album, Just for You. The lyrics are sung from the perspective of a person who finds that drinking red wine is the only way to forget his woes.
Red Red Wine" is a song originally written and recorded by Neil Diamond that was then covered by Tony Tribe and more famously by UB40. In the song, the singer finds drinking red wine is the only way to forget a lost love. UB40 made their rendition for their cover versions album Labour of Love. According to the band, they were only familiar with Tony Tribe's version, and their version featured a lighter, reggae-style flavor compared to Diamond's somber, acoustic ballad.
Red, red wine Stay close to me Don't let me be in love It's tearing apart My blue, blue heart. I just thought, that with time Thoughts of you would leave my head I was wrong, now I find Just one thing makes me forget. Red, red wine Stay close to me Don't let me be in love It's tearing apart My blue, blue heart. Red red wine, you make me feel so fine Monkey pack him Rizla pon the sweet Dep line The line broke, the monkey get choked Burn bad ganja pon his little rowing boat
Diamond wrote another song about red wine in 1970 with Cracklin' Rosie. UB40 recorded this as a cover of the Tony Tribe 1969 reggae version, which reached in the UK charts. The album Labour Of Love is a collection of covers comprised of reggae songs the band grew up listening to; other tracks include "Many Rivers To Cross" by Jimmy Cliff and "Cherry Oh Baby" by Eric Donaldson. It was UB40's fourth album, and the group was eager to expose their expanding fanbase to the reggae classics they loved.

Red, red wine It's up to you All I can do, I've done But mem'ries won't go No, mem'ries won't go. I'd have thought That with time Thoughts of her Would leave my head I was wrong And I find Just one thing makes me forget.

Red red wine you make me feel so grand I feel a million dollars when your just in my hand
