[Verse 1]
GCan you tell Dme what Chappened to the Gblossom,
CBlackberry Gblossom when the Dsummertime came?
The Gblackberry Dblossom, oh the Clast time I Gsaw one
Was Cdown in the Gbramble where I Drambled in the Gspring
[Chorus 1]
The Embramble was wild I was torn by the briars
My Bmlove he wooed me as I lie there
With a Emflower in my hair and my cheeks all flashy
Was the CBlackberry GBlossom from the DBlackberry GBush
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
GWhen I picked the Dberry I Cdidn't miss the Gblossom
The Cblackberry Gblossom was Dwhite as the snow
But the Gberry that it Dbrings is Csweeter than Gmolasses
And Cblack as the Gwings of an DArkansas Gcrow
[Chorus 2]
The EmArkansas crow is a devil and a demon
BmKnown for his cackling and his screaming
EmDriving away the swallow and the thrush
From the Cblackberry Gblossom and the Dblackberry Gbush
[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
GI was picking Dberries when that Ccrow flew Gabove me
CCarrying my Glover so Dfar away
Now Geach spring I Dlay a Cblackberry Gblossom
By a Ccold graveGstone on the DArkansas Gclay
[Chorus 3]
The EmArkansas clay is rocky and hard
With weeBmds growing over in the old graveyard
And the Emday settles down to an evening hush
Over the CblackberryG blossom and the Dblackberry Gbush.
