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:]
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.

Tom Paxton

Well the preacher will preach; teacher will teach
A miner will dig in the mine
I ride the rods, trusting in God
A-huggin' my bottle of wine.
[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.
