Eric Burdon
Spill The Wine
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 with tall grass, as I lay there
With the sun caressing my face, I fell asleep and dreamed
I dreamed I was in a Hollywood movie
And that I was the star of the movie, well this really blew my mind
The fact that me, a dark skinned ball-haired
[Incomprehensible] from New York could be the star
Of a Hollywood movie, but there I was
I was taken to a place, the hall of the mountain kings
I stood up high on the mountain top, naked to the world
In front of every type of girl, there was long ones, short ones
Big ones, round ones, black ones, white ones
Red ones, crazy ones, out of the middle, came a lady
She whispered in my ear, say what, something crazy, she said
"Spill the wine and take that girl
Spill the wine and take that girl
Spill the wine and take that girl
Spill the wine and take that girl"
I could feel hot flames of fire roaring down my back
As she disappeared, but soon she returned
In one hand she held a bottle of wine and in the other, a glass
She poured some of the wine from the bottle into the glass
Raised it to her lips and just before she drank it, she said
"Spill the wine and take that girl
Spill the wine and take that girl
Spill the wine and take that girl
Spill the wine"
Now, [Incomprehensible]
Spill the wine and take that girl
Spill the wine and take that girl
Spill the wine and take that girl
Spill the wine and take that girl
Take that girl, oh it's all good
Spill that wine, spill that wine
Spill the wine, spill the wine
Spill the wine, spill the wine
Spill the wine, spill the wine
Spill the wine, take that girl, it's all good
You got to spill the wine and take that girl
Spill the wine and take that girl
You got to spill the wine and take that girl
Spill the wine and take that girl
