Lyrics:

This is a song that's been around, ah
Around the band for a long while and
Which is like laid on you as a parting gift

Lately I've been thinkin' 'bout settlin' down
To find me a life of my own
Too much drinkin' and sleepin' around
Is bound to weary your soul
So darlin', for the gravy
Darlin', for the wine
You made me feel like your friend
Darlin', for the gravy
Darlin', for the wine
Come love your sweet old-fashioned man
Come love your sweet old-fashioned man
I've been out on the road with a rock 'n' roll band
Terry Britten, Old Stockley, now Beeb
And I like what I got now and what I once had
Sweet lady, you're more than I need
Yes I said, darling, for the gravy
Darling, for the wine
Make me feel like your friend
Darling, for the gravy
Darling, for the wine
Come love your sweet old-fashioned man
Come love your sweet old-fashioned man
Come on honey

Lately I've been thinkin' 'bout settlin' down
To find me a life of my own
Too much drinkin' and sleepin' around
Lord, is bound to weary your soul
Darling, for the gravy
Darling, for the wine
Make me feel like your friend
Darling, for the gravy
Darling, for the wine
Come love your sweet old-fashioned man, oh yes
Come love your sweet old-fashioned man, man
Come love your sweet old-fashioned man
Come love your sweet old-fashioned man

Goodnight Washington, we'll see you next year, take care
