Amazing Grapes
by Ronald W. Hull → (All Poetry by Ronald W. Hull)

I sing Amazing Grace quite often. Wonderful uplifting lyrics and melody. But I wonder, like so many composers did, if John Newton in 1779, put his lyrics to a favorite tavern song so that the parishioners on Sunday morning would recognize the melody from the Saturday night before and sing along. ;-) Hence, this parody.

Amazing Grapes

 


Verse 1 - Refrain

Amazing grapes how sweet the taste,

That saved a teetotaler like me!

I once was skinny, but now am round;

Was weak, but now am healthy.


(Refrain)


Verse 2

‘Twas wine that taught my heart to sing,

And wine my cholesterol relieved;

How precious did that wine become,

The time my tastebuds believed!


(Refrain)


Verse 3

Through many cures, pills and ills,

I have tried and failed with some;

‘Tis wine hath brought me safe thus far,

And wine will lead me healthy home.


(Refrain)

I could not help but smile when I read this dear Ron, my dad used to make his own wine when I was little, grew up drinking musto from a rubber hose, and drinking mixed gingerale and wine at age 6, strangely as I grew up, I no longer felt the need for it, or taste, I enjoyed your light hearted poetry today, cheers, to your good health my dear, :)
