As recorded by The Band (From the 1970 Album STAGE FRIGHT) [Intro] A B7 [Verse 1]
E
I would try my finger and I would try my hand

                    E7
At any fool game in this man's land

    A7                                     E
But don't you talk about this-a friend of mine,

          B7                    A                E7
I ain't never been let down and you'd be wastin' time.
[Verse 2]
E
I would scratch and steal, I would maim a man,

E
I would even run the bounty across the other country,

   A                                         E
So don't you talk about this here friend of mine,

          B                    A                E
I gave it all of my money, but it makes me feel fine.
[Bridge]
E
Yeah, I know you won't give me no peace of mind,

                               E7                 A7
Try to understand I just wanna feel good all the time.

                                           E
Don't you talk about a dear old friend of mine,

         B7
Well, I know that you are sweet and more than double fine.

B7
Everybody said you oughta marry that rich man down the line,

B7
But if I had to make a choice I wouldn't change my mind.

       A                             E          A     E
Honey, you just ain't as sweet as my strawberry wine.
[Interlude] A E A E A B7 [Verse 3]
B         E
Yeah, you caught me when I's down a-sleepin' in the park,

E
Climbin' up the walls and laughin' in the dark.

      A                                                  E7
But I heard you been talkin' about a dear old friend of mine,

B7                       A                       E7
Never tasted anything as sweet as my strawberry wine.
[Outro]
E           A  E  A  E
  Oh no no
