Hangin' around this dirty old town Pickin' for nickels and dimesAskin' a friend just to lend me a hand To get a little bottle of wineBottle of wine, fruit 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 little hotel cold as a well And dark as the coal in the mineThe blankets so thin that I lay there and grin Huggin' my bottle of wineBottle of wine, fruit 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 preacher will preach and a teacher will teach A miner will dig in the mineI ride the rods trustin' in God Huggin' my bottle of wineBottle of wine, fruit of the vine When you gonna let me get sober?Leave me alone and let me go home Let me go back and start over
