Great Big Sea - Berry Picking Time lyrics

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
