Gill Vince - Real Mean Bottle lyrics

No man ever sounded so lonesome

No man ever made you feel such pain

Lord, it must have been a real mean bottle

That made you sing that way

The stories you told about prison

About a young man gone astray

Lord, it must have been a real mean bottle

That made you write the songs that way

Chorus:

A real mean bottle

Poured straight from the Devil

It's a miracle you're standin' here today

A real mean bottle

Made you such a rebel

It must have been a real mean bottle

Made you sing that way

You spent most all your life with strangers

With a ramblin' fever in your veins

Hag, it must have been a real mean bottle

That made you play the blues that way

Chorus

A real mean bottle

Poured straight from the Devil

It must have been a real mean bottle

Made you sing that way
