Bartender Songtext
von Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds

If I go before I′m old
Oh, brother of mine
Please don't forget me if I go

Bartender, please
Fill my glass for me
With the wine you gave Jesus that set Him free
After three days in the ground

Oh, and if I die, yeah
Before my time
Oh, sweet sister of mine
Please don′t regret me if I die


Bartender, please
Fill my glass for me
With the wine you gave Jesus that set Him free
After three days in the ground
Bartender, please, yeah, yeah
Fill my glass for me
With the wine you gave Jesus that set Him free
After three days in the ground
In the ground, and watch the light

I'm on bended knees, I pray
Oh, bartender, please

Yes, I get when I was young, I'd never think about it
Now I just wanna run and hide
I′m on bended knees
Father, please

Oh, and if all this gold here
Should steal my soul away
Oh, dear mother of mine, please redirect me
If this gold-

Bartender, you see
The wine that′s drinking me
Came from the vine that strung Judas from the devil's tree
His roots deep, deep in the ground
Bartender, you see, yeah, yeah
The wine that′s drinking me
Came from the vine that strung Judas from the devil's tree
His roots deep, deep in the ground
In the ground, you watch the light


I′m on bended knees
Oh, bartender, please
You see that I am
I'm on bended knees
Father, please

Oh, when I was young, I′d never think about it, no
Now I just wanna run and hide
I'm on bended knees
Bartender, please, bartender, please

This is my very, very good friend, my dear friend, Tim Reynolds
It's awesome to be here, but I′ll talk about that later
