"Bottle Of Wine" lyrics

Doc Watson & Merle Watson Lyrics

"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

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
