Berry picking time

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
Chorus:
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
Chorus
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
Chorus
