Strawberry Wine lyrics
Songwriters: Helm, Levon; Robertson, Robbie;

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 dear friend of mine
I ain t never been let down so you d be wastin time

I would scratch and steal and I would maim a man
I would even run a bounty across the other county
Don t you talk about a dear old friend of mine
I gave it all of my money but it makes me feel fine

Yeah, you 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
And 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

Yeah, you caught me when I was down a-sleepin in the park
Climbin up the walls and laughin in the dark
But I heard that you d been talkin about a dear old friend of mine
Never tasted anything as sweet as my strawberry wine
No no no

Yeah, I would scratch and steal and I would maim a man
I would even run a bounty across the other county
But don t you [incomprehensible] talk about a dear old friend of mine
Never tasted anything as sweet as my strawberry wine
No no no
