Und hier ist noch ein Song von Tom Paxton: Bottle Of Wine
Die traurige Geschichte eines herumziehenden Musikanten, der sich für ein paar Cent verkauft, der Schluss machen möchte mit dem Herumziehen und Trinken, der einfach wieder „trocken” sein will.
Bottle Of Wine
Chorus:
Bottle of wine, fruit of the vine,
When you gonna let me get sober?
Leave me along, let me go home.
Let me go back and start over.
Ramblin' around this dirty old town,
Singin' for nickels and dimes.
Times getting tough I ain't got enough,
To buy a little bottle of wine.
Chorus
Little hotel, older than Hell,
Dark as the coal in the mine.
Blanket so thin, I lay there and grin,
'Cause I got a little bottle of wine.
Chorus
It's a pain in my head, bugs in my bed,
And my pants are so old that they shine.
Out on the street, tell the people I meet,
To buy me a bottle of wine.
Chorus
