Tom Waits - Another Man's Vine Lyrics

"Another Man's Vine"

Bougainvillea's bloom and wind
Be careful mind the strangle vines
The rose is a climbing over blind
'Cause the sun is on the other side
The bees will find their honey
The sweetest every time
Around a Red Rose
I see a red rose, a red rose
Blooming on another man's vine
Golden Willie's gone to war
He left his young wife on the shore
Will she be steadfast everyday?
While Golden Willie is far away
Along the way her letters end
She never reads what Willie sends

Now I see a red rose
I smell a red rose A red rose

I love how I always get ads for alcohol on Tom Waits videos. How quaint.

August Greig wanna sing like Tom waits?
well drink a six pack of stellar 10% off for a month with all respected retailers

This song is perfect. I love the imagery he creates in that opening verse.

Try Lucid Rivers, very different to this but like this it's a bit different from the norm.

Hmmm. The very first note of this one reminds me of another song from Tom Waits, Same note, same instruments. But I absolutely can't remember which one. Ideas anyone?

Are you thinking of Dirt in the Ground, perhaps?

@LindirTheGreen Yes that's it. Thank you!

great song in shitty quality. fuck you, phil bebbington, fuck you.

Yeah that's why I'm spreading the word :)
Thanks, yours is ahhm cool too :D

Well I'm glad to hear the because this man is a god :) (cool user name by the way)

There are.. there are plenty who know

I'm only 15 years old, and I can't stand the music kids my age listen to. If only my generation knew about people like Tom Waits.

I agree Bob Dylan is the best, but Tom Waits is AMAZING!!!

it's hilarious when I hear twenty year old men call this music gay and then they cry for starships by niki minaj.

bod dylan?

sounds like chicken and pineapples with some warm beer

Great stuff - I don't think anyone plays poetry better?

This guys is amazing!!!!!

I'm always impressed with the way he builds such vivid characters and stories using just a few lines.

Goosebumps.

This song scares the shit out of me. The voice is one thing but when he sings about bees and honey I'm like o.0... Allright.. *backs out of room*

Don't give up saving the youth from girl-music!

love it

In what year was this released?
