The Band - Strawberry Wine lyrics
[The Band - Strawberry Wine lyrics]
I would try my finger and I would try my hand
At any fool game in this man's land
But don't you talk about
This-a friend of mine
I ain't never been let down
And you'd be wastin' time
I would scratch and steal, I would maim a man
I would even run the bounty
Across the other county
So don't you talk about this
Here friend of mine
I gave it all of my money
But it makes me feel fine
Yeah, I know you won't give
Me no peace of mind
Try to understand I just wanna
Feel good all the time
Don't you talk about a dear
Old friend of mine
Well, I know that you are sweet
And more than double fine
Everybody said you oughta marry that
Rich man down the line
But if I had to make a
Choice I wouldn't change my mind
Honey, you just ain't as sweet
As my strawberry wine
Yeah, You caught me when I's
Down a-sleepin' in the park
Climbin' up the walls and
Laughin' in the dark
But I heard you been talkin' about
A dear old friend of mine
Never tasted anything as sweet
As my strawberry wine
At any fool game in this man's land
But don't you talk about
This-a friend of mine
I ain't never been let down
And you'd be wastin' time
I would scratch and steal, I would maim a man
I would even run the bounty
Across the other county
So don't you talk about this
Here friend of mine
I gave it all of my money
But it makes me feel fine
Yeah, I know you won't give
Me no peace of mind
Try to understand I just wanna
Feel good all the time
Don't you talk about a dear
Old friend of mine
Well, I know that you are sweet
And more than double fine
Everybody said you oughta marry that
Rich man down the line
But if I had to make a
Choice I wouldn't change my mind
Honey, you just ain't as sweet
As my strawberry wine
Yeah, You caught me when I's
Down a-sleepin' in the park
Climbin' up the walls and
Laughin' in the dark
But I heard you been talkin' about
A dear old friend of mine
Never tasted anything as sweet
As my strawberry wine
