Lyrics:
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
Well, I've rambled around this dirty old town
Singing for nickels and dimes
Times getting rough, I ain't got enough
To buy little bottle of wine
Well, little hotel, older than hell
Cold as the dark in the mine
Blanket so thin, I lie there and grin
I got a little bottle of wine
Well, the preacher will preach and the teacher will teach
The miner will dig in the mine
I ride the rods, trusting in God
Huggin' my bottle of wine
Well, pain in my head, bugs in my bed
Pants so old that they shine
Out on the street, tell the people I meet
To buy little bottle of wine
