Blackberry Blossom |
| Can you tell me what happened to the blossom |
| Blackberry blossom when the summertime came? |
| The blackberry blossom, oh the last time I saw one |
| Was down in the bramble where I rambled in the spring |
| The bramble was wild I was torn by the briars |
| My love he wooed me as I lie there |
| With a flower in my hair and my cheeks all flashy |
| Was the blackberry blossom from the blackberry bush |
| When I picked the berry I didn’t miss the blossom |
| The blackberry blossom was white as the snow |
| But the berry that it brings is sweeter than molasses |
| And black as the wings of the Arkansas crow |
| The Arkansas crow is a devil and a demon |
| Known for his cackling and his screaming |
| Driving away the swallow and the thrush |
| From the blackberry blossom and the blackberry bush |
| I was picking berries when that crow flew above me |
| Carrying my lover so far away |
| Now each spring I lay a blackberry blossom |
| By a cold gravestone on the Arkansas clay |
| The Arkansas clay is rocky and hard |
| With weeds growing over in the old graveyard |
| And the day settles down to an evening hush |
| Over the blackberry blossom and the blackberry bush |
