(Tom Paxton)

Bottle of wine, fruit of the vine
When you gonna let me get sober
Leave me alone, let me go home
Let me go home and start over.

Ramble around this dirty ole town
A beggin' for nickels and dimes
Times are rough I can't get enough
To buy a little bottle of wine.

Oh, bottle of wine, fruit of the vine
When you gonna let me get sober
Leave me alone, let me go home
Let me go home and start over.

--- Instrumental ---

Pains in my heart, bugs in my bed
Pants are so old that they shine
Out on the street tellin' the people I meet
To buy me a bottle of wine.

Oh, bottle of wine, fruit of the vine
When you gonna let me get sober
Leave me alone, let me go home
Let me go home and start over.

Bottle of wine, fruit of the vine
When you gonna let me get sober
Leave me alone, let me go home
Let me go home and start over.

Bottle of wine, fruit of the vine
When you gonna let me get sober
Leave me alone, let me go home
Let me go home and start over...
