Peaches and Wine

I hitched a ride in the dead of night Just my guitar and me Commemorating a one hundred year Tragic anniversary Laid to rest a long time ago A jazzman cut down in his prime killed by a jealous rich man While having peaches and wine Peaches and wine Peaches and wine A storm was coming to that southern town A full moon was glowing bright Some people think that I was quite insane To visit that grave that night But the story of a fem fatale And him being shot through the heart We shared the same name Born on the same day ten decades apart Peaches and wine Peaches and wine Arrived and departed from that old graveyard I was thinking about that troubadour And I felt a connection through time and space A feeling like none before Then I Lost my directions somehow Walking by stately homes One Mansion was standing out Only a rich man could own Peaches and wine Peaches and wine Then I saw her dead ahead A breathtaking sight to see Her long blonde hair and her silky white gown Blowing in the breeze Closer to that mansion Her beauty unmistakably clear She walked right up next to me And whispered I this in my ear Come play guitar for me Something with a pretty melody Some jazz would be the bee's knees I'm so cold and it's going to storm Come inside and keep me warm Have peaches and wine if you please I played guitar for her She gave me peaches and wine I was lost somewhere in the past A different place a different time I followed her upstairs She showed me her southern charms I kept her warm that night She fell asleep in my arms Peaches and wine Peaches and wine Woke up it was cold and damp I was In a state of disbelief I was laying in a pile of rags Instead of her silky sheets There was no beautiful mansion Just a old falling down shack But her essence was still fresh in my mind And her words came softly back Come play guitar for me Something with a pretty melody Some jazz would be the bee's knees I'm so cold and it's going to storm Come inside and keep me warm Have peaches and wine if you please Peaches and wine Peaches and wine Peaches and wine Peaches and wine Peaches and wine
