BOTTLE OF WINE
(Tom Paxton)
CHORUS
Bottle of wine, Fruit of the vine
When you gonna let me get sober
Let me alone, let me go home
Let me go back and start over
Ramblin' around this dirty old town
Singin' for nickels and dimes
Times getting tough; I ain't got enough
To buy a little bottle of wine
CHORUS
Little hotel, older than Hell
Dark as the coal in the mine
Blankets are thin; I lay there and grin
'Cause I got a little bottle of wine
CHORUS
Pain in my head and bugs in my bed
Pants are so old that they shine
Out on the street, tell the people I meet
Won'cha buy me a bottle of wine
CHORUS
Well a preacher will preach; teacher will teach
A miner will dig in the mine
I ride the rods, trustin' in God
A-huggin' my bottle of wine
CHORUS
