Bottle of Wine
Wandering Troubles and Wine: A Musical Tale of Life's Struggles
Lyrics
Ramblin' around this dirty old town
Rambling aimlessly in a rundown town
Singin' for nickels and dimes
Singing for small amounts of money
Times getting rough I ain't got enough
Facing financial difficulties, unable to afford basics
To buy me a bottle of wine
Lacking funds to purchase a bottle of wine
Bottle of wine, fruit of the vine
Desire for a bottle of wine, a symbol of pleasure
When you gonna let me get sober
Questioning when the speaker will be allowed to sober up
Leave me along, let me go home
Expressing a desire to be left alone to return home
I wann'a go back and start over
Wishing to go back and start anew
Little hotel, older than Hell
Describing a modest and old hotel
Cold and as dark as a mine
Portraying the hotel as cold and dark
Blanket so thin, I lie there and grin
Smiling despite a thin blanket
Buy me little bottle of wine
Requesting a bottle of wine despite hardships
Bottle of wine, fruit of the vine
Reiterating the desire for a bottle of wine
When you gonna let me get sober
Questioning when sobriety will be allowed
Leave me along, let me go home
Expressing a plea to be left alone to go home
I wann'a go back and start over
Yearning to restart life afresh
Aches in my head, bugs in my bed
Describing physical discomfort and worn-out clothing
Pants so old that they shine
Highlighting the poor condition of pants
Out on the street, tell the people I meet
Sharing experiences with people on the street
Won'ch buy me a bottle of wine
Expressing the need for a bottle of wine
Bottle of wine, fruit of the vine
Reiterating the desire for a bottle of wine
When you gonna let me get sober
Questioning when sobriety will be allowed
Leave me along, let me go home
Expressing a plea to be left alone to go home
I wann'a go back and start over
Yearning to restart life afresh
Teacher must teach, and the preacher must preach
Stating the responsibilities of a teacher and preacher
Miner must dig in the mine
Highlighting the duty of a miner in the mine
I ride the rods, trusting in God
Trusting in God while facing challenges
And hugging my bottle of wine
Holding onto a bottle of wine for comfort
Bottle of wine, fruit of the vine
Reiterating the desire for a bottle of wine
When you gonna let me get sober
Questioning when sobriety will be allowed
Leave me along, let me go home
Expressing a plea to be left alone to go home
I wann'a go back and start over
Yearning to restart life afresh
