Charles Wesley Godwin - Strawberry Queen lyrics

I never would've guessed it in
A hundred years or more
I'd meet a lowland angel
The likes I'd never seen before
She grew up where the sun does
Run hot across the sky
Sweetened her up nice like
Some strawberry wine
I crowned her in my mind, oh
My Strawberry Queen

I ain't cut out for royalty
Never saw myself a king
No blue blood in these veins
Just a mountain boy with dreams
But I got caught up in her love
Like a storm down in the Gulf
The high winds wreck my docks
The water rusts my locks
My wave breaks on the rocks
For my Strawberry Queen

I ain't the first to pledge
My service to the crown
I know her subjects in the
Past have let her down
Treasonous fools never come around this town
Or I'd throw my fist and give
'em hell and stand my ground
For my Strawberry Queen
For my Strawberry Queen

I met her at a dance hall early one spring
Felt like Adam next to Eve staring
At a fruit of God
So I wrapped a bow around my heart and
Placed it in a box of cherry wood
I asked her if she could take
That box and do it good
She smiled and said she would, oh
My Strawberry Queen

I ain't the first to pledge
My service to the crown
I know her subjects in the
Past have let her down
Treasonous fools never come around this town
Or I'd throw my fist and give
'em hell and stand my ground
For my Strawberry Queen
For my Strawberry Queen
