Spill The Wine - Eric Burdon & WAR

Written by：Howard E. Scott/Charles W. Miller/Lee Oskar/Harold Ray I. Brown/le roy L. Jordan/Morris Dewayne Dickerson/Sylvester Allen

I was once out strolling

One very hot summer's day

When I thought I'd lay myself down to rest

In a big field of tall grass

I lay there in the sun

And felt it caressing my face

And I fell asleep and dreamed

I dreamed I was in a hollywood movie

And that I was the star of the movie

This really blew my mind the fact that me

An overfed long haired leaping gnome

Should be the star of a hollywood movie

Uh

There I was uh I was taken to a place

The hall of the mountain kings

I stood high upon a mountain top

Naked to the world

In front of every kind of girl

There was

Long ones tall ones short ones brief ones

Black ones round ones big ones crazy ones

Out of the middle came a lady

She whispered in my ear something crazy she said

Spill the wine and take that pearl

Spill the wine and take that pearl

Spill the wine and take that pearl

Spill the wine and take that pearl

I thought to myself what could that mean

Am I going crazy

Or is this just a dream

Now wait a minute

I know I'm lying in a field of grass somewhere

So it's all in my head

And then I heard her say one more time

Spill the wine and take that pearl

Spill the wine and take that pearl

Spill the wine and take that pearl

Spill the wine and take that pearl

I could feel hot flames of fire roaring at my back

As she disappeared but soon she returned

In her hand was a bottle of wine in the other a glass

She poured some of the wine

from the bottle into the glass

And raised it to her lips

And just before she drank it she said

Spill the wine and take that pearl

Spill the wine and take that pearl

Spill the wine and take that pearl

Spill the wine and take that pearl

Take that pearl yeah

It's all gone

You got do this

Spill the wine

Spill the wine

Spill spill that spill spill bang yeah yeah

Spill the wine

Spill the wine

Spill the wine

Spill the wine

Spill the wine

Spill the wine

Spill the wine and take that pearl
