Blackberry Wine

Gordon Lightfoot

There's a south wind risin' and

The moon shines on my window sill

I've got a feeling I might walk on over the hill

I'm bent but not broken, all I need is some rest

And a bottle of your very best

Blackberry wine



There's a new moon risin' and

The wind sings its old song

Pass it on over it's a sin to be sober too long

I'm bent but not broken, all I need is my share

Of a bottle of that very rare

Blackberry wine



My old gal's got a new dress on five and dime

Try as she will she can't get me

To come home on time

But I'd never cheat her

Or mistreat her you know

As over the mountain I go

Blackberry wine



I'll be soft spoken

All I need is my rest

And a bottle of your very best

Blackberry wine



Now my days are numbered

And one more heel's been killed

Blackberry John left me

His old recipe in his will

I'm bent but not broken,

All I need is some time

And a bottle of your very fine

Blackberry wine



Blackberry wine,

You know that I'm quite dry without you

Blackberry wine
