Let's go down by the grapevine, drink my Daddy's wine, get happy
Down by the grapevine, drink my daddy's wine, get happy, happy
Oh, sweet blindness, a little magic, a little kindness
Oh, sweet blindness, all over me
Four leaves on a clover, I'm just a bit of a shade hung over
Come on baby, do a slow float you're a good looking riverboat
and ain’t that sweet eyed blindness good to me?

Down by the grapevine, drink my Daddy's wine, good morning
Down by the grapevine, drink my Daddy's wine, good morning, morning
Oh, sweet blindness, a little magic, a little kindness
Oh, sweet blindness, all over me
Please don't tell my mother, I'm a saloon and a moonshine lover
Come on baby, do a slow float you're a good looking riverboat
and ain’t that sweet eyed blindness good to me?

Don't ask me cause I ain't gonna tell you what I've been drinking
ain't gonna tell you what I've been drinking
ain't gonna tell you what I've been drinking
wine of wonder, wonder, (by the way)
Oh, sweet blindness, a little magic, a little kindness
Oh, sweet blindness, all over me
Don't let daddy hear it, he don't believe in the gin mill spirit
Don't let daddy hear it, he don't believe in the gin mill spirit
Come on baby, do a slow float you're a good looking riverboat
and ain’t that sweet eyed blindness good to me?
Now, ain’t that sweet eyed blindness good to me?
