[Verse 1]
Hangin' around this dirty old town
A-pickin' for nickles and dimes
Askin' a friend just to lend me a hand
To get a little bottle of wine

[Chorus]
Bottle of wine, true to the vine
When you gonna let me sober
Leave me alone and let me go home
Let me go back and start over

[Verse 2]
A little hotel, cold as a well
And dark as coal in a mine
The blanket's so thin that I'll lay there and grin
Huggin' my bottle of wine

[Chorus]
Bottle of wine, true to the vinе
When you gonna let me sobеr
Leave me alone and let me go home
Let me go back and start over

[Verse 3]
A preacher will preach and a teacher will teach
A miner will dig in the mine
I ride the rods trustin' in God
Huggin' my bottle of wine
[Chorus]
Bottle of wine, true to the vine
When you gonna let me sober
Leave me alone and let me go home
Let me go back and start over
