bottle of wine

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 to 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

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 to start over

little hotel

older than hell

dark as a coal in a mine

blanket too thin

i lay there and grin

'cause i got a little bottle of wine

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 to start over

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'tcha buy me a bottle of wine?"
