The Real Buffalo Joe Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 (edited) 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  Drunk all the timeFeeling fine on elderberry wineThose were the daysWe'd lay in the hazeForget depressive timesHow can I ever get it togetherWithout a wife in lineTo pick the crop and get me hotOn elderberry wine Edited September 24, 2019 by The Real Buffalo Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Beard Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Raspberries, strawberries, the good wines we brew.Here's to the girls of the countryside, the ones we drink 'em to.  Paris nights are warm and fair.
