Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Let's go down by the grapevine
Drink my daddy's wine, get happy
Down by the grapevine
Drink my daddy's wine, get happy, happy
[Verse 2]
Oh, sweet blindness
A little magic
A little kindness
Oh, sweet blindness
All over me
[Verse 3]
Four leaves on a clover
I'm just a bit of a shade hungover
Come on, baby, do a slow float
You're a good looking riverboat
And ain't that sweet eyed blindness good to me
[Verse 4]
Let's go down by the grapevine
Drink my daddy's wine, good morning
Down by the grapevine
Drink my daddy's wine, good morning, morning
[Verse 5]
Oh, sweet blindness
A little magic
A little kindness
Oh, sweet blindness
All over me
[Verse 6]
Please don't tell my mother
I'm a saloon and moonshine lover
Come on, baby, do a slow float
You're a good looking riverboat
And ain't that sweet eyed blindness good to me
[Verse 7]
Don't ask me 'cause I ain't gonna tell you
What I've been drinking
Ain't gonna tell you
What I've been drinking
Ain't gonna tell you
What I've been drinking
Wine of wonder, wonder by the way
[Verse 8]
Oh, sweet blindness
A little magic (A sweet morning day)
A little kindness
Oh, sweet blindness (Sweet day)
All over me (All over)
[Verse 9]
Don't let daddy hear it
He don't believe in the ginmill spirit
Don't let daddy hear it (Don't let daddy hear it)
Don't let daddy, don't let daddy hear it
He don't believe in the ginmill spirit
[Verse 10]
Come on, baby, do a slow float
You're a good looking riverboat
And ain't that sweet eyed blindness good to me
(Blindness, sweet eyed blindness)
Now, ain't that sweet eyed blindness good to me
