You know my brothers and I was raised in Cincinnati Cincinnati Ohio And I remember when we were kids we used to walk to the woods And go black berry picking Swinging our baskets on our arms Skipping down the road, you know And Kelly used to have an expression, you used to say back then We made a song out of that expression I remember the words of it It used to go a little like this
The blacker the berry the sweeter the juice He said these words The blacker the berry he said the sweeter the juice The blacker the berry sweeter the juice
You know he digged black berries so much And everywhere he would go he would use that as his excuse you know Staying out late at night And my brother Rudolph he used to like strawberries, if I remember correctly, at the time And at the time my thing was wild cherries I remember the three of us used to steal tomatoes And lay on the ground and peel all kind of ice potatoes [?]
Saying The blacker the berry The sweeter the juice Alright Lord have mercy
Yeah, yeah We used to strip down bananas And throw the peelings away at the same time in the street, you know And when it got hot we just drank all the lemonade we could get Til we knocked ourselves clean off our feet And we walked along Singing the blacker the berry the sweeter the juice Come on y'all Black berry The sweeter the juice Help me sing this song Black berries The sweeter, the sweet the juice Now how would you look eating a green berry, you know What's the use Swing you basket on your arm Sing it sing it sing this song The blacker the berry The blacker the berry Yeah yeah The sweeter the juice I like black berries And everywhere I go, that's my excuse I can still hear them singing the song If you listen hard enough you'll hear The sweeter the juice The blacker the berry Blacker the berry
I like black berries That's my excuse
Black black black Sweeter the juice Sing it one more time Little baby The sweeter the juice
I like black berries I like black berries That's my excuse
Sing, sing sing the song Blacker the berry Sweeter the juice Blacker the berries Sweeter the juice
I like black berries I like black berries That's my excuse
We would wander along Sing sing sing the song
I like black berries I like black berries That's my excuseTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
