The Rolling Stones Outtakes, Demos & Radio Sessions (1964/1968)
Track 13 - \"Blood Red Wine\" [aka: \"Red Blood Wine\"; \"Blood Red & Wine\"; \"Bloodred Wine\" - Demo/Outtake/Unreleased] (M. Jagger - K. Richards)
Recorded by \"The Rolling Stones\" at \"Olympic Sound Studios\", London, UK (May, 1968)
\"Blood Red Wine\" is an outtake from the \"Beggar’s Banquet\" sessions. While it has the mood and feel of that period soaked into it, the track is obviously unfinished. What is there, however, sounds like the makings of a Stones classic. That melancholy feels so prominent on songs like \"Sister Morphine\", \"Moonlight Mile\" and others is all over this one. Another track ripe for nursing back to life for sure.
Lyrics:
(vocals= M. Jagger; acoustic guitars= B. Jones/K. Richards; bass= B. Wyman; piano= N. Hopkins; drums= C. Watts)
\"Mmm... Dear, I love you dearly
but don't forget trouble I used to find
And it was, in your mind... yeah!
I got red blood, and I got blood red wine
Which I bring you, when the snow is heavy on the ground,
If you say where go, I'll just, wrap my cloak around;
You say that every man you ever had has been obsessed with you
And I wanna prove an exception to the role, that you lay down,
Babe, please don't make me cry, 'cause there's a little pain inside,
Yes, my darling now you can't expect me always to hide;
I got red blood, and I got, blood red wine
Which I bring you when the snow lies heavy on the ground,
If you say we'll go
Why-ow... Let me, let me, wrap my coat around;
Yeah, that's right,
You see that every time well the lines must rhyme
And every verse, be in the same old time,
Does it all, have to rhyme?
But there go, and that's a place that you will never...
You said to remind of the girl I used to know, and used to love, yeah!
I got red blood, and I got blood red wine
Which I bring you, when the snow lies heavy on the ground,
If you get cold I, oh wrap my, coat, coat around,
My, my, my, my, don't you stay on that, that snowy ground\".
Enjoy good old Rock Music performed by the greatest rock 'n roll band in the world!
