Peaches and Wine
I hitched a ride in the dead of night
Just my guitar and me
Commemorating a one hundred year
Tragic anniversary
Laid to rest a long time ago
A jazzman cut down in his prime
killed by a jealous rich man
While having peaches and wine
Peaches and wine
Peaches and wine
A storm was coming to that southern town
A full moon was glowing bright
Some people think that I was quite insane
To visit that grave that night
But the story of a fem fatale
And him being shot through the heart
We shared the same name
Born on the same day ten decades apart
Peaches and wine
Peaches and wine
Arrived and departed from that old graveyard
I was thinking about that troubadour
And I felt a connection through time and space
A feeling like none before
Then I Lost my directions somehow
Walking by stately homes
One Mansion was standing out
Only a rich man could own
Peaches and wine
Peaches and wine
Then I saw her dead ahead
A breathtaking sight to see
Her long blonde hair and her silky white gown
Blowing in the breeze
Closer to that mansion
Her beauty unmistakably clear
She walked right up next to me
And whispered I this in my ear
Come play guitar for me
Something with a pretty melody
Some jazz would be the bee's knees
I'm so cold and it's going to storm
Come inside and keep me warm
Have peaches and wine if you please
I played guitar for her
She gave me peaches and wine
I was lost somewhere in the past
A different place a different time
I followed her upstairs
She showed me her southern charms
I kept her warm that night
She fell asleep in my arms
Peaches and wine
Peaches and wine
Woke up it was cold and damp
I was In a state of disbelief
I was laying in a pile of rags
Instead of her silky sheets
There was no beautiful mansion
Just a old falling down shack
But her essence was still fresh in my mind
And her words came softly back
Come play guitar for me
Something with a pretty melody
Some jazz would be the bee's knees
I'm so cold and it's going to storm
Come inside and keep me warm
Have peaches and wine if you please
Peaches and wine
Peaches and wine
Peaches and wine
Peaches and wine
Peaches and wine
Just my guitar and me
Commemorating a one hundred year
Tragic anniversary
Laid to rest a long time ago
A jazzman cut down in his prime
killed by a jealous rich man
While having peaches and wine
Peaches and wine
Peaches and wine
A storm was coming to that southern town
A full moon was glowing bright
Some people think that I was quite insane
To visit that grave that night
But the story of a fem fatale
And him being shot through the heart
