Lyrics
Nancy:
Strawberries, cherries and an angel's kiss in
spring
My summer wine is really made from all these
things
Lee:
I walked in town on silver spurs that
jingled to
A song that I had only sang to just a few
She saw my silver spurs and said let's pass
some time
And I will give to you summer wine
Ohh-oh-oh summer wine
Nancy:
Strawberries, cherries and an angel's kiss in
spring
My summer wine is really made from all these
things
Take off your silver spurs and and help me
pass the time
And I will give to you summer wine
Ohh-oh-oh summer wine
Lee:
My eyes grew heavy and my lips they could
not speak
I tried to get up but I couldn't find my feet
She reassured me with an unfamiliar line
And then she gave to me more summer wine
Ohh-oh-oh summer wine
Nancy:
Strawberries, cherries and an angel's kiss in
spring
My summer wine is really made from all these
things
Take off your silver spurs and and help me
pass the time
And I will give to you summer wine
Mmm-mm summer wine
Lee:
When I woke up the sun was shining in my
eyes
My silver spurs were gone, my head felt twice
its size
She took my silver spurs, a dollar and a dime
And left me cravin' for more summer wine
Ohh-oh-oh summer wine
Nancy:
Strawberries, cherries and an angel's kiss in
spring
My summer wine is really made from all these
things
Take off your silver spurs and and help me
pass the time
And I will give to you summer wine
Mmm-mm summer wine
