DRINKIN' THAT WINE

(trad. American, after Bob Walser)


Oh, if my mother asks for me,
Tell her that death done summon me,
    You ought to been there ten thousand years
    Drinkin' that wine.

	Drinkin' that wine, wine wine
	Drinkin' that wine, oh yes my Lord
	You oughta been there ten thousand years
	Drinkin' that wine.

Ain't but one thing that I done wrong,
Stayin' in the wilderness mos' too long.
    You ought to been there ten thousand years
    Drinkin' that wine.

	Drinkin' that wine, wine wine ...

Down by the river, we're gonna walk
Me and my Lord gonna have a little talk.
    You ought to been there ten thousand years
    Drinkin' that wine.

	Drinkin' that wine, wine wine ...

Two white horses side by side,
One of them horses I'm gonna ride.
    You ought to been there ten thousand years
    Drinkin' that wine.

	Drinkin' that wine, wine wine ...

If you get there before I do,
Tell my mother I'm coming too.
    You ought to been there ten thousand years
    Drinkin' that wine.

	Drinkin' that wine, wine wine ...

If my mother asks for me,
Tell her that death done summon me.
    You ought to been there ten thousand years
    Drinkin' that wine.

	Drinkin' that wine, wine wine ...
