Berry Picking Time Lyrics by Great Big Sea
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
Well I spied a berry bush as I was strolling home one dayAnd somehow it brought back the bygone daysOf when you and I were berry picking many years agoIn a little county not so far awayHow well I do remember the day when we first metIt leaves a picture in my mind I never can forgetCHORUS:We were picking berries at Old Aunt Mary'sWhen I picked a blushing brideAs we strolled home together, I just wondered whetherI could win you forever if I triedThen at love's suggestion, I popped the questionAnd asked you to be mineBy your kisses I knew, you'd picked me and I'd picked youAt berry picking timeCHORUSWell how sweet you were that day, in your simple gingham gownTo me you were as lovely as a QueenWhen from underneath your bonnet popped a pair of golden curlsAnd the bluest eyes that I have ever seenYour lips were red as cherries, the taste was twice as sweetIt only took one kiss to make my happiness completeCHORUS
