Bottle of wine, fruit of the vine, when ya gonna let me get sober

Let me alone, let me go home, let me go back and start o-ver

Time's getting tough, I ain't got enough to buy a little bottle of wine

Bottle of wine, fruit of the vine, when ya gonna let me get sober

A little hotel over the hill, dark as the coal in the mine

Blanket so thin, I lay there and grinned, cos I got a little bottle of wine

Bottle of wine, fruit of the vine, when ya gonna let me get sober

Let me alone, let me go home, let me go back and start o-ver

Pain in my head and bugs in my bed, pants are so old that they shine

Out on the street I tell people I meet won't you buy me a bottle of wine

Well, a preacher will preach, a teacher will teach, a miner will dig in the mines

I ride the rods, trusting in God, a-hugging my bottle of wine
[Chorus]
C G C
Bottle of wine, fruit of the vine, when ya gonna let me get sober

Let me alone, let me go home, let me go back and start o-ver
