The Kingston Trio Bottle of Wine Lyrics

INTRO: C G C
CHORUS:
Bottle of wine, fruit of the vine, when you
gonna let me get so-ber.
Let me alone..let me go home..let me go
back and start ov-er.
#1.
Well, I've rambled around this dirty old
town, singing for nickels and dimes.
Times getting rough, I can't get enough, to
buy me a little bottle of wine.
CHORUS:
Bottle of wine, fruit of the vine, when you
gonna let me get so-ber.
Let me alone..let me go home..let me go
back and start ov-er.
#2.
Well, little hotel, older than hell, cold as
the dark in the mine.
Light so dim, I had to grin, I got a little
bottle of wine.
CHORUS:
Bottle of wine, fruit of the vine, when you
gonna let me get so-ber.
Let me alone..let me go home..let me go
back and start ov-er.
INTERLUDE: C G C
#3.
Well, the preacher will preach and the teacher
will teach, the miner will dig in the mine.
I ride the rods, trusting in God, huggin' my
bottle of wine.
CHORUS:
Bottle of wine, fruit of the vine, when you
gonna let me get so-ber.
Let me alone..let me go home..let me go
back and start ov-er.
#4.
Well, pain in my head, bugs in my bed, pants so
old that they shine.
Out on the street, I tell the people I meet, to
buy me a little bottle of wine.
CHORUS:
Bottle of wine, fruit of the vine, when you
gonna let me get so-ber.
Let me alone..let me go home..let me go
back and start ov-er.
OUTRO:
Bottle of wine, fruit of the vine, when you
gonna let me get so-ber?
