Great Big Sea - Berry Picking Time lyrics

rate me

Well I spied a berry bush as I was strolling home one day

And somehow it brought back the bygone days

Of when you and I were berry picking many years ago

In a little county not so far away

How well I do remember the day when we first met

It leaves a picture in my mind I never can forget

We were picking berries at Old Aunt Mary's

When I picked a blushing bride

As we strolled home together, I just wondered whether

I could win you forever if I tried

Then at love's suggestion, I popped the question

And asked you to be mine

By your kisses I knew, you'd picked me and I'd picked you

At berry picking time

Well how sweet you were that day, in your simple gingham gown

To me you were as lovely as a Queen

When from underneath your bonnet popped a pair of golden curls

And the bluest eyes that I have ever seen

Your lips were red as cherries, the taste was twice as sweet

It only took one kiss to make my happiness complete
