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