Elton John - Elderberry Wine lyrics

[Elton John - Elderberry Wine lyrics]

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

Ooh, elderberry wine elderberry wine
Elderberry wine elderberry wine
Elderberry wine elderberry wine
Elderberry wine elderberry wine
Elderberry wine
