MELVA’S WINE
D
Every year about this time
D A
My wife Melva made some wine
Every year about this time
E D A
The air is sweet as Melva's wine
And I sip her wine and I listen to the robin sings
D E A
And the river runs through Kingston Springs
Every year about this time
D A
A few old friends come up to walk
Every year about this time
D A
A few old friends stop by to talk
And we talk about the crops and weather and things
D E A
And the young folks here in Kingston Springs
I got the brother up Chicago way
A G E
He wants me to visit him someday and I may sometimes
D
But not as long as the robin sings
E A
And the river runs through Kingston Springs
It was last year about this time
D A
Melva made her last batch of wine
It was last year about this time
D A
She left for me her warm sweet wine
She could sing as sweet as robins sing
D E A
Above her grape in Kingston Springs
D
I got the brother up Chicago way
A G E
He wants me to visit him someday and I may sometimes
D
But not as long as the robin sings
E A
Or Melva sleeps in Kingston Springs
'Cause that was last year about this time
D G A
That Melva made this glass of wine
