Summer Wine
(nancy):
strawberries cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
my summer wine is really made from all these things
(lee):
i walked in town on silver spurs that jingled to
a song that i had only sang to just a few
she saw my silver spurs and said lets pass some time
and i will give to you summer wine
ohh-oh-oh summer wine
(nancy):
strawberries cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
my summer wine is really made from all these things
take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
and i will give to you summer wine
ohhh-oh summer wine
(lee):
my eyes grew heavy and my lips they could not speak
i tried to get up but i couldn't find my feet
she reassured me with an unfamiliar line
and then she gave to me more summer wine
ohh-oh-oh summer wine
(nancy):
strawberries cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
my summer wine is really made from all these things
take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
and i will give to you summer wine
mmm-mm summer wine
(lee):
when i woke up the sun was shining in my eyes
my silver spurs were gone my head felt twice its size
she took my silver spurs a dollar and a dime
and left me cravin' for more summer wine
ohh-oh-oh summer wine
(nancy):
strawberries cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
my summer wine is really made from all these things
take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
and i will give to you summer wine
mmm-mm summer wine
ut-tered,
All the streets were dark and bare,
In our town no Scar-let Rib-bons,
Not one rib-bon for her hair.
Thru the night my heart was ach-ing,
Just be-fore the dawn was break-ing,
I peeked in and on her bed
In gay pro-fu-sion ly-ing there,
Love-ly rib-bons, Scar-let Rib-bons,
Scar-let Rib-bons for her hair.
If I live to be two hun-dred___
I will nev-er know from where,
Came those love-ly Scar-let Rib-bons,
Scar-let Rib-bons for__ her__ hair.
Circa 1949
