Bottle of Wine

Capo 3rd fret


A
Bottle of wine, fruit of the vine,
                          E A
When you gonna let me get sober?

Let me alone, let me go home.
                       E A
Let me go back to start over.


A         E          D         A
Ramblin' around this dirty old town,
            E           A
Singin' for nickels and dimes.
A             E        D          A
Times gettin' tough, I ain't got enough
                E         A
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 the coal in the mine.
Blanket so 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, bugs in my bed,
My 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?"

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.

A preacher will preach, a teacher will teach,
And a miner will dig in the 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.

(Words and music by Tom Paxton, 1963)
