Back Sliders Wine, Part 1 Songtext
von Gary Stewart

Do not drink Back sliders wine

As the rain ruins my alibi
I′m down to tellin' you my troubled mind
It′s not the sun bright path
That called me from my home
It's just that fine Backslider's wine


My momma sings out in my memory
Son, don′t drink no red eyed shine
Fight for your rights
But, don′t just fight for right
And do not drink Backslider's wine

But I took myself to be a strong and loving soul
′Til I found my self face down on the bar room floor
Crying my God what has become of me
I dare not drink Backslider's wine no more

My momma sings out in my memory
Son, don′t drink no red eyed shine
Fight for your rights
But, don't just fight for right
And do not drink back sliders wine
