Strawberry Wine
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 country
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
Oh no, no no no no no no no no, no no no no no no no no
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
No, no no no no no, no no no no no no no no
No, no no no no no no no
