Elderberry Wine

[Verse 1]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Outro]

Ooh, elderberry wine

Elderberry wine

Elderberry wine

Elderberry wine

Elderberry wine

Elderberry wine

Elderberry wine

Elderberry wine

Elderberry wine
