Peaches and Wine Lyrics

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
