Tennessee Ernie Ford - Blackberry boogie

^GAlong about ^Csunup every ^Gday I grab my bucket and ^D7I'm on my ^Gway

I go down the road a ^Crunnin' and a ^Gkickin' I'm headed for the patch to ^D7do some blackberry ^Gpickin'

I fill my bucket ^Cright to the ^Gtop It makes my lips go ^D7flippety-^Gflop

I hear a little voice ^Cand it sounds so ^Gsad It said don't pick me now ^D7cause I ain't ripe ^Gdad

^CBlackberry ^Gboogie ^Cblackberry ^Gboogie I'm ^Cbrought back like a flip

When ^D7it's blackberry pickin' ^Gtime

I went to see my gal I ^Cset my bucket ^Gdown She said hi there baby ^D7are you goin' to ^Gtown

I said uh-uh honey I'm a ^Cgoin' where they ^Gscratch I'll meet you in a minute ^D7in the blackberry ^Gpatch

She grabs her bucket and ^Cshe jumps and ^Gsqueals I'm headin' for the bushes ^D7and she's hot on my ^Gheels

I start pickin' on one end ^Cshe picks on the ^Gother We meet in the middle and ^D7she yells oh ^Gbrother

^CBlackberry ^Gboogie ^Cblackberry ^Gboogie Oh I ^Clove that girl

When I ^D7meet her in the middle of the ^Gpatch

We go through the briars ^Cwalkin' hand in ^Ghand Pickin' blackberries ^D7just to beat the ^Gband

I grab her for a kiss she ^Csaid turn me ^Gloose Your lips are all blue ^D7from that blackberry ^Gjuice

I hug her once and ^Csaid don't be ^Gcoy You know I'm your black^D7berry pickin' ^Gboy

I kissed her then and ^Cshe let out a ^Gsigh And said let's go to ^D7my house and bake a ^Gpie

^CBlackberry ^Gboogie ^Cblackberry ^Gboogie I'll ^Cbe back little gal

When it's ^D7blackberry pickin' ^Gtime
