Who Will Buy The Wine

Lyrics: Billy Mize
Music: Billy Mize

Apparently played by Jerry Garcia sitting in on pedal steel guitar with the Cleanliness and Godliness Skiffle Band in June 1969

Now the life that you're living since you left me
Is not the life I [?] you really chose
That honky tonkin' world is not so flashy
Bright lights and booze is all it really knows

Now a while ago you held our baby's bottle
But the one you're holding now's a different kind
And you done set away to be somebody's baby
And it all depends on who will buy the wine

Whoever sets them up and tips the waitress
Your kind of love just might as well be blind
You'll never know whose lips you'll soon be kissing
And it all depends on who will buy the wine

Whoever sets them up and tips the waitress
Your kind of love just might as well be blind
You'll never know whose lips you'll soon be kissing
And it all depends on who will buy the wine
