Elderberry Wine Lyrics

There's a fly in the window A dog in the yard And a year since I saw you
There's a trunk in the corner I keep all my letters My bills and demands I keep too
Well, I can't help thinking about the times You were a wife of mine, you aimed to please me Cooked black-eyed peas-me, made elderberry wine
Drunk all the time, feeling fine on elderberry wine Those were the days, we'd lay in the haze Forget depressive times
How can I ever get it together without a wife in line? To pick the crop and get me hot On elderberry wine
'Round a tree in the summer A fire in the fall Flat out when they couldn't stand
The bottle went round Like a woman down south Passed on from hand to hand
Well, I can't help thinking about the times You were a wife of mine, you aimed to please me Cooked black-eyed peas-me, made elderberry wine
Drunk all the time, feeling fine on elderberry wine Those were the days, we'd lay in the haze Forget depressive times
How can I ever get it together without a wife in line? To pick the crop and get me hot On elderberry wine
Drunk all the time, feeling fine on elderberry wine Those were the days, we'd lay in the haze Forget depressive times
How can I ever get it together without a wife in line? To pick the crop and get me hot On elderberry wine
Elderberry wine Elderberry wine Elderberry wine ...
