Tom T. Hall "Blackberry Dreams" |
(Tom T. Hall) Blackberry jelly and blackberry jam Blackberry's cobbler and blackberrys canned We used to pick 'em and sell 'em And was that a dollar a gallon. Sun filled days and the moon filled nights Cowboy movies and funnybook fights Old ked sneakers and ragged ole jeans But we had our blackberry dreams. Hey up in the mornin' and out to the vines June and July that was blackberry time Sure did taste good on a biscuit And we'd steal some wine if they fixed it. Saturday mornin's we'd go into town Spend all our money on kids who were around Flat broke on Sunday fish in the streams And we had our blackberry dreams. [ guitar ] Girls didn't care about blackberry boys They didn't like us but they sure liked our toys And we used to trick 'em and tease 'em Lord we never thought we would need 'em. We gave Mrs Walker a gallon one day Cause she couldn't pick 'em and she couldn't pay And we thought it worthy of Roy and Gene And those were our blackberry dreams. And I was just thinking about it today Blackberry summers blackberry ways We kept the sun on the right side May we always look at the bright side. You know it seems funny but as I look back We've always been in a blackberry patch Still got my sneakers and my ragged ole jeans And I still got my blackberry dreams... Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
