Bottle of wine, fruit of the vine,
when you gonna let me get sober?
Leave me alone, let me go home,
let me go home and start over.
Rambling around this dirty old town,
singing for nickels and dimes
Time's getting rough, I ain't got enough
to buy me a bottle of wine.
Bottle of wine, fruit of the vine,
when you gonna let me get sober?
Leave me alone, let me go home,
let me go home and start over.
Pain in my head, bugs in my bed,
pants are so old that they shine.
Out on the street, tell the people I meet
to buy me a bottle of wine?
Bottle of wine, fruit of the vine,
when you gonna let me get sober?
Leave me alone, let me go home,
let me go home and start over.
Bottle of wine, fruit of the vine,
when you gonna let me get sober?
Leave me alone, let me go home,
let me go home and start over.
Bottle of wine, fruit of the vine,
when you gonna let me get sober?
Leave me alone, let me go home,
let me go home and start over.
Let me go home and start over.
Let me go home and start over.
Tom Paxtons lyrics
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.
Preacher will preach, teacher will teach,
miner will dig in the mine.
I ride the rods, trusting in God
huggin' my bottle of wine.
