Summer Wine by Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazelwood

Gina's request made me think of this one. I remember my mom singing this when I was little. Dedicated to all of our intoxicating memories:

(NANCY):
Strawberries cherries and an angel´s kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things

(LEE):
I walked in town on silver spurs that jingled to
A song that I had only sang to just a few
She saw my silver spurs and said 'let's pass some time'
And I will give to you summer wine
Ohh-oh-oh summer wine

(NANCY):
Strawberries cherries and an angel´s kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I will give to you summer wine
Ohhh-oh summer wine

(LEE):
My eyes grew heavy and my lips they could not speak
I tried to get up but I couldn´t find my feet
She reassured me with an unfamiliar line
And then she gave to me more summer wine
Ohh-oh-oh summer wine

(NANCY):
Strawberries cherries and an angel´s kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I will give to you summer wine
Mmm-mm summer wine

(LEE):
When I woke up the sun was shining in my eyes
My silver spurs were gone; my head felt twice its size
She took my silver spurs, a dollar and a dime
And left me cravin´ for more summer wine
Ohh-oh-oh summer wine

(NANCY):
Strawberries cherries and an angel´s kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I will give to you summer wine
Mmm-mm summer wine

In my neverending plugs for cover tunes, the Irish group the Corrs sang this one live.

The Hazelwood parts were sung by another Irishman, Bono.

Yeah, I've heard their cover of it. It's okay, but I still like the original better.
