Standard Tuning
Verse 1:
If you ll take the time and trouble,
I ve a story I ll relay,
how I drank away my freedom,
drank the past to a prison gate.
Chorus 1:
Once love came in sweetest splendor,
Angel s love I thought was mine,
how I tried to quit my drinkin
the devil s own red wicked wine,
the devil s own red wicked wine.
Verse 2:
Then one night I found my darlin
locked in the arms of my best friend,
wicked wine and a loaded pistol
brought them both to a bloody end.
Chorus 2:
I have traded love and freedom
for prison stripes and a tortured mind,
now I know but grief and sorrow
all for the love of wicked wine,
the devil s own red wicked wine.
