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
CHORUS:
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
CHORUS
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
CHORUS
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 CHORUS: 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 CHORUS 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 CHORUS Explain Request ×
