Elton John - Elderberry Wine lyrics

Music by elton john Lyrics by bernie taupin Available on the album don't shoot me i'm only the piano player There's a fly in the window A dog in the yard And a year since i saw you There's a trunk in the corner I keep all my letters My bills and demands i keep too Well i can't help thinking About the times You were a wife of mine You aimed to please me Cooked black-eyed peas-me Made elderberry wine Drunk all the time Feeling fine on elderberry wine Those were the days We'd lay in the haze Forget depressive times How can i ever get it together Without a wife in line To pick the crop and get me hot On elderberry wine Round a tree in the summer A fire in the fall Flat out when they couldn't stand The bottle went round Like a woman down south Pa**ed on from hand to hand
