Way out in the pines Where the tall trees grow There lives a woman In a house that she calls home She's waiting in the door In her dress so fine We're gonna spend the afternoon Drinking dandelion wine Summertime is here, lord Why did it take so long Wintertime just did me in Man, everything went wrong But now I'm going back again To the country where I'll find My baby with a gallon jug Of that dandelion wine Kenny's on his tractor And he's pulling in the hay And his son Davy's got a shotgun Says he'd rather it that way Me, I'm just waiting For that wagon to go by And I'll pass them up my gallon jug Of that dandelion wine Sometimes I sing for money Sometimes I sing for food But most times I sing for nothing 'Cause it's all that I can do But if you can spare a nickel If you can spare a dime I'm damn sure gonna spend it on Some of that dandelion wine So you can tell my city woman I ain't coming back no more 'Cause I'm gonna have a high time Without ever waiting for All of my best days you just come and go I'm gonna live before I die So just pass me up that gallon jug Of your dandelion wine So just pass me up that gallon jug Of your dandelion wine Oh, so just pass me up your gallon jug Of that dandelion wine
