Sweet Peach Georgia Wine - Levon Helm

I was on my way from Daulton, headed for Atlanta

Thinking about that girl I left behind

When a voice so soft and tender floated down to me from the window

Would you like a taste of my sweet peach Georgia wine?

Well she showed me to the backdoor and she told me what it was for

Said you can come back and see me any old time

And just as I was going that old sheriff must have gone in

Said boy you’ve been in my sweet peach Georgia wine

Now hows I supposed to know she was the sheriff’s daughter

She was only sweet sixteen but she looked a lot older

Well i guess I’ve learned my lesson son

You know I’m doing my 10 to 21

Just for tasting that sweet peach Georgia wine

Organ solo

Now hows I supposed to know she was the sheriff’s daughter

She was only sweet sixteen but she looked a lot older

Well i guess I’ve learned my lesson son

You know I’m doing my 10 to 21

Just for tasting that sweet peach Georgia wine

Bridge

If I ever get out of this jail house, I ain’t gonna slowdown

Till I reach that Georgia boarder line

Well maybe one quick stop down in Macon

Cause i hate to leave these parts and not take it

One more sip of sweet peach Georgia wine

Now hows I supposed to know she was the sheriff’s daughter

She was only sweet sixteen but she looked a lot older

Well I guess I’ve learned my lesson son

You know I’m doing my 10 to 21

Just for tasting that sweet peach Georgia wine
