OOPS 01 Bottle Of Wine
Tom Paxton
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 over
Ramblin' 'round this dirty old town
Singin' for nickels and dimes
Time's gettin' rough, I ain't got enough
To buy a little bottle of wine
Little hotel, older than Hell
Dark as the coal in a mine
Blankets are thin, I lay there and grin
I got a little bottle of wine
Pain in my head, bugs in my bed
Pants are so old that they shine
Out on the street, tell the people I meet
Won't you buy me a bottle of wine?
Preacher will preach, teacher will teach
Miner will dig in the mine
I ride the rods, trusting in God
Huggin' my bottle of wine
