Elderberry Wine

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?
