Bb G C
Do not drink Backslider's wine
G C
As the rain ruins my alibi
F C
I'm down to tellin' you my troubled mind
F
It's not the sun bright path
C
That made me leave my home
F G C
It's that fine Backslider's wine
Chorus:
G C
My momma sings out in my memory
F C
Son, don't drink no red eyed shine
F C
Fight for your rights but, don’t just fight for right
Bb G C
And do not drink Backslider's wine
Inst: | C | F | F | C | C | Bb | G | C |
G C
I took myself to be a strong and loving soul
F C
'Til I found myself face down on the bar room floor
F C
Crying “My God, what has become of me
F G C
I dare not drink Backslider's wine no more
Chorus:
G C
My momma sings out in my memory
F C
Son, don't drink no red eyed shine
F C
Fight for your rights but, don’t just fight for right
Bb G C
And do not drink Backslider's wine
Bb G C
Do not drink Backslider's wine
