lyrics

Blackberry pie for breakfast
Blackberry pie for lunch
Come on over in between
and we’ll have a blackberry brunch
I confess it I’m a sinner
So let’s have blackberry pie for dinner
Just to keep my conscience clear
I saved a big piece for you dear

Adam and Eve, sitting in the garden
Baking blackberry pie in their solar oven
Naked as jaybirds, singing a song
They were picking blackberries all the day long
Didn’t need clothes, they were feeling just fine
‘Cause there weren’t no thorns on the blackberry vines
Nettles didn’t meddle in the task at hand
And the thistles just tickled ‘em where they’d stand.

Blackberry pie....

Now, even back then in the days of old
Children didn’t do what their daddy told
Sittin’ in the tree of right and wrong
the devil had a plan and they went along
Adam and Eve got kicked out of Eden
But there’s still blackberries ripe for the pickin’
But watch your step now, sure as you’re born
you’re gonna get stuck by the blackberry thorn

Blackberry pie...

The sun’s gonna shine and the clouds are gonna rain
The old world turns and the seasons change
You try to be good and you work real hard
But the berry vines still take the yard
So put on some jeans and an old sweatshirt
And pick those berries till it hurts
Hold your bucket up to the sky
And thank the Good Lord for Blackberry Pie!

Blackberry pie...
