Little Glass Of Wine Lyrics - The Stanley Brothers

Come little girl let's go get married 

My love is so great, how can you slight me 

I'll work for you both late and early 

At my wedding my little wife you'll be 

Oh Willie dear, let's both consider 

We're both too young to be married now 

When we're married, we're bound together 

Let's stay single just one more year 

He went to the bar where she was dancing 

A jealous thought came to his mind 

I'll kill that girl, my own true lover 

Before I let another man beat my time 

He went to the bar and called her to him 

She said Willie dear, what you want with me 

Come and drink wine with the one that loves you 

More than anyone else you know, said he 

While they were at the bar a-drinking 

That same old thought came to his mind 

He'd kill that girl, his own true lover 

He gave her poison in a glass of wine 

She laid her head over on his shoulder 

Said Willie dear, please take me home 

That glass of wine that I've just drinken 

Has gone to my head and got me drunk 

He laid his head over on the pillow 

Let me read you the law let me tell you my mind 

Molly dear, I'm sorry to tell you 

We both drank poison in a glass of wine 

They folded their arms around each other 

They cast their eyes unto the sky 

Oh God, oh God, Ain't this a pity 

That the both true lovers are bound to die
