I'm hangin' around this dirty old town Playin' for nickels and dimesAskin' a friend just to lend me a hand To get a little bottle of wineFruit of the vine When you gonna let me get sober?Leave me alone and let me go home Let me go back and start overA sleazy hotel as cold as a well And dark as a coal in the minesBlankets so thin I lay here and grin Huggin' to my bottle of wineBottle of wine Fruit of the vineWhen you gonna let me get sober? Leave me alone and let me go homeLet me go back and start overA preacher will preach, a teacher will teach A miner will dig in the minesI ride the rides of trustin' in God Huggin' to my bottle of wineBottle of wine Fruit of the vineWhen you gonna let me get sober? Leave me alone and let me go homeLet me go back and start over*
