Trivia, story behind the song, etc.
Baker Maultsby is a great and trusted friend of mine. In the 1990s, we co-wrote an album called Bingo=Sin and recorded it in a bedroom. It was all about the oddly evolving South, and it wound up getting favorable notices in the New York Times and Wall Street Journal. Baker still plays a bunch of shows in South Carolina. He came up to visit me the day I was trying to finish this song. I couldn’t finish it. He did. One time I was in a position where it would have been socially advantageous to be able to dance. This was problematic, so I had a drink or two in hopes of “loosening up.” The first line of the song is, “Wine don’t make me no dancer.”
Lyrics
(Peter Cooper/Baker Maultsby) Well Known Music/SESAC and Maultsby-Cooper Music/BMI/admin. by BUG Music Wine Don’t make me no dancer Don’t give me no answers Don’t bring you my way Wine Don’t paint me no pictures Don’t make me no richer Just leads me astray Wine Don’t make this a party Don’t help me stay on key Don’t throw me no bones Wine Don’t make me no lover Don’t give me no cover It don’t know my way home It don’t make me feel better But it makes me feel different Something to hold While I’m wonderin’ where I went Fruit of the vine Bottle of wine Wine Don’t make me no smarter Don’t help me work harder To right what I’ve wronged Wine Sweet as a berry Bitter as envy Soft as a song It don’t make me feel better But it makes me feel different Something to hold While I’m wonderin’ where I went Fruit of the vine, baby, bottle of wine
