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.

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.


Tom Paxton

Quote of the day

Look in the mirror. The face that pins you with its double gaze reveals a chastening secret. You are looking into a predator's eyes. Most predators have eyes set right on the front of their heads, so they can use binocular vision to sight and track their prey.
Diane Ackerman
