Abbey Lincoln - Blackberry Blossoms Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Blackberry blossoms in the springtime
Bring the fruit for jams and jellies
Gathered from the bramble bushes
Growing, crawling on the ground
The bramble bushes and the berries
Climb the fences and the trees
The thorny bushes shelter berries
And the snake and bees

[Verse 2]
Brambles blossom into berries
Promises of fruit in winter
In the summer grow maturing
Just before the coming fall
Blackberry bramble in the springtime
In profusion on the wall
Without blossoms there would be
No berries here at all

[Tenor Saxophone Solo]

[Verse 3]
Blackberries blossom in the sunlight
Growing almost everywhere
Where the seasons bring the changes
And the winter, cold night air
But berry branches, thorny bushes
Bring the blossoms in the spring
Purple, white, and red and yellow
It's a wondrous thing
