Bottle of Wine

Chorus:

Bottle of wine, fruit of the vine, when you gonna let me get sober?

 

Leave me alone, let me go home, let me go back and start o-ver

 

Ramblin' around this dirty old town, Singin' for nickels and dimes

 

Times are so rough, I ain't got enough, to buy a little bottle of wine (Chorus)

 

Little hotel, older than hell, Dark as the coal in a mine

Blankets are thin, I lay there & grin, I got a little bottle of wine (Chorus)

 

Pain in my head, bugs in my bed. Pants are so old that they shine

Out on the street, I tell the people I meet, won't you buy me a bottle of wine?

(Chorus)

 

Preacher will preach, teacher will teach, Miner will dig in the mine

I ride the rods, trusting in God, huggin' my bottle of wine. (Chorus)
