Berry Picking Time - Great Big Sea

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

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

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
