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