Schwa Lyrics

Bottle of Wine

Lyricist: The Kingston Trio
Vocalist: Mullins/McGee

Ramblin' around this dirty old town 
Singin' for nickels and dimes 
Times getting rough I ain't got enough 
To buy me a bottle of wine 

Bottle of wine, fruit of the vine 
When you gonna let me get sober 
Leave me along, let me go home 
I wann'a go back and start over 

Little hotel, older than Hell 
Cold and as dark as a mine 
Blanket so thin, I lie there and grin 
Buy me little bottle of wine 

CHORUS 
Aches in my head, bugs in my bed 
Pants so old that they shine 
Out on the street, tell the people I meet 
Won'ch buy me a bottle of wine 

CHORUS 

Teacher must teach, and the preacher must preach 
Miner must dig in the mine 
I ride the rods, trusting in God 
And hugging my bottle of wine 

CHORUS
