[chorus]:                                         
    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.                      
                                                  
Ramblin' 'round this dirty old town, Singin' for  
nickels and dimes, Time's gettin' rough, I ain't  
got enough To buy me a bottle of wine.            
                                                  
[chorus]                                          
                                                  
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.              
                                                  
[chorus]                                          
                                                  
Pain in my head, bugs in my bed, Pants are so     
old that they shine. Out on the street, tell the  
people I meet Won't you buy me a bottle of wine?  
                                                  
[chorus]                                          
                                                  
Preacher will preach, teacher will teach, Miner   
will dig in the mine. I ride the rods, trusting   
in God Huggin' my bottle of wine.
