Tom Paxton - Bottle of Wine 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 to start over 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 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 to start over Little hotel, older than Hell Dark as a coal in a mine Blanket too thin, I lay there and grin 'Cause I got a little bottle of wine 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 to start over Pain in my head and bugs in my bed Pants are so old that they shine Out on the street tell the people I meet "Won'tcha buy me a bottle of wine?" 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 to start over Well, a preacher would preach, teacher would teach A miner would dig in a mine I ride the rods trustin' in God A-huggin' my bottle of wine 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 to start over I went to the zoo for an hour or two And the weather was pleasant and fine While wanderin' by a gorilla said hi Did you have a little bottle of wine 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 to start over While strugglin' through to meet the latest guru I was the two-hundredth person in line I turned to a friend and saw the same in the end Why don't we get a little bottle of wine 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 to start over Jolie bouteille, sacrée bouteille Veux-tu me laisser tranquille? Je veux te quitter, je veux m'en aller Je veux recommencer ma vie 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 to start over Je veux recommencer ma vie
