Artist/Band: Laura Nyro
Lyrics for Song: Sweet Blindness
Lyrics for Album: Original Album Classics [2011]



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, good to me?

Now, ain't that sweet eyed blindness good to me?
