Sweet Cherry Wine Songtext
von Tommy James & the Shondells

(Come on)
Everyone, we got to get together, now
Oh, yeah, love′s the only thing that matters anyhow
And the beauty of life can only survive
If we love one another

Oh, yeah, yesterday my friends were marching out to war
Oh, yeah, listen, now, we ain't a-marching anymore
No, we ain′t going to fight, only God has the right
To decide who's to live and die

He gave us sweet cherry wine
So very fine
We'll drink it right down
Pass it all around
So stimulating, so intoxicating
Sweet cherry wine
(All day and night)
And everybody′s gonna feel so fine
Drinking sweet cherry wine
Yes, they will


Watch the mountain turn to dust and blow away
Oh, Lord, you know there′s got to be a better way
And the old masquerade is a no soul parade
Marching through the ruins of time

To save us, he gave us
Sweet cherry wine, so very fine
We'll drink it right down
Pass it all around
So stimulating, so intoxicating
Sweet cherry wine
Everybody′s gonna feel so fine
Drinking sweet cherry wine

Oh, sweet cherry wine
So very fine
We'll drink it right down
Pass it all around
So stimulating, so intoxicating
Sweet cherry wine
C′mon, drink it with your brother
Trust in one another
Yeah, yeah, we need each other


Sweet cherry wine
Drink it right now
Pass it all around
People, don't you know
The cup is running over?

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, c′mon
C'mon, c'mon, hey (ooh, ooh-ooh)
