Sweet Cherry Wine Lyrics By Tommy James And The Shondells

    tommy james
    come on
    everyone we got to get together now
    oh yeah love’s the only thing that matters anyhow
    and the beauty of life can only survive
    if we love one another

    oh yeah yesterday my friends were marching out to war
    oh yeah listen now we ain’t amarching anymore
    no we ain’t going to fight only god has the right
    to decide who’s to live and die

    he gave us sweet cherry wine
    so very fine
    we’ll drink it right down
    pass it all around
    so stimulating so intoxicating
    sweet cherry wine
    all day and night
    and everybody’s gonna feel so fine
    drinking sweet cherry wine
    yes they will

    watch the mountain turn to dust and blow away
    oh lord you know there’s got to be a better way
    and the old masquerade is a no soul parade
    marching through the ruins of time

    to save us he gave us
    sweet cherry wine so very fine
    we’ll drink it right down
    pass it all around
    so stimulating so intoxicating
    sweet cherry wine
    everybody’s gonna feel so fine
    drinking sweet cherry wine

    oh sweet cherry wine
    so very fine
    we’ll drink it right down
    pass it all around
    so stimulating so intoxicating
    sweet cherry wine
    c’mon drink it with your brother
    trust in one another
    yeah yeah we need each other

    4
    sweet cherry wine
    so very fine
    drink it right now
    pass it all around
    people don’t you know
    the cup is running over
