BLACKBERRY BLOSSOM
Lyrics by Richard L. Matteson Jr. C 2009.

[A Part]
Blackberry blossom floatin' on the breeze
Skippin' through a meadow lined with White oak trees.
Blackberry blossom tumbles to the ground
Lands in a bubblin' brook doesn't make a sound.

Blackberry blossom pickin' out a tune,
we only get to see you, in the month of June.
Of all the many berries, I think it's plain to see.
Blackberry blossom is the one for me.

[B Part]
Lookout now, see that bear a rumblin'
Headed on down, to the berry patch.
There he is, you can see him stumblin'
Blackberry blossom, the perfect catch. (Repeat)

[A Part]
Blackberry blossom grows on a vine,
You can pick the berry, make a little wine.
You can pick the song, 'cause it's not very long,
Turn around twice and it'll be gone.

Blackberry blossom, gettin' near the end,
It's be fun pickin', you my friend
Of all the many berries, I think it's plain to see.
Blackberry blossom is the one for me.

[B Part] 2X
