Levon Helm - Sweet Peach Georgia Wine lyrics
[Levon Helm - Sweet Peach Georgia Wine lyrics]
I was on my way from Daulton
I headed for Atlanta
A-thinking about that girl I left behind
When a voice so soft and tender
Floated down to me from the window
"Would you like a taste of
That sweet peach Georgia wine?"
Well, she showed me to the backdoor
And she told me what it was for
Said, "You can come back and
See me any old time"
And just as I was going that
Old sheriff must have gone in he said, "Boy
You've been in my sweet peach Georgia wine"
Now how was I supposed to know
She was the sheriff's daughter?
She was only sweet sixteen but
She looked a lot older
Well, I guess I've learned my lesson, son
You know I'm doing my ten to twenty-one
Just for tasting that sweet
Peach Georgia wine
Now how am I supposed to know
She was the sheriff's daughter?
She was only sweet sixteen but
She looked a lot older
Well, I guess I've learned my lesson, son
You know I'm doing my ten to twenty-one
Just for tasting that sweet
Peach Georgia wine
If I ever get out of this jail house
I ain't never gonna slow down
Until I reach that Georgia border line
Well, maybe one quick stop down in Macon
'Cause, I hate to leave these
Parts and not take it
One more taste of sweet peach Georgia wine
Now how am I supposed to know
She was the sheriff's daughter?
She was only sweet sixteen but
She looked a lot older
Well, I guess I've learned my lesson, son
You know I'm doing my ten to twenty-one
Just for tasting that sweet
Peach Georgia wine
I headed for Atlanta
A-thinking about that girl I left behind
When a voice so soft and tender
Floated down to me from the window
"Would you like a taste of
That sweet peach Georgia wine?"
Well, she showed me to the backdoor
And she told me what it was for
Said, "You can come back and
See me any old time"
And just as I was going that
Old sheriff must have gone in he said, "Boy
You've been in my sweet peach Georgia wine"
Now how was I supposed to know
She was the sheriff's daughter?
She was only sweet sixteen but
She looked a lot older
Well, I guess I've learned my lesson, son
You know I'm doing my ten to twenty-one
Just for tasting that sweet
Peach Georgia wine
Now how am I supposed to know
She was the sheriff's daughter?
She was only sweet sixteen but
She looked a lot older
Well, I guess I've learned my lesson, son
You know I'm doing my ten to twenty-one
Just for tasting that sweet
Peach Georgia wine
If I ever get out of this jail house
I ain't never gonna slow down
Until I reach that Georgia border line
Well, maybe one quick stop down in Macon
'Cause, I hate to leave these

One more taste of sweet peach Georgia wine
Now how am I supposed to know

She was only sweet sixteen but

Well, I guess I've learned my lesson, son
You know I'm doing my ten to twenty-one
Just for tasting that sweet
Peach Georgia wine
