Letra de Elderberry wine

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
Chorus
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
Chorus
