Thank you my friend CW5 Jack Cardwell for sharing the music video of Mean Mary James performing "Blackberry Blossom" at the Prairie Peddler Festival in Butler, Ohio on Oct. 4, 2015.
Thank you for introducing me to the music of Mean Mary James. She is an immensely talented lady.
Blackberry Blossom written by Norman Blake, Peter Ostroushko
Lyrics
"Can you tell me what happened to the blossom
Blackberry blossom when the summertime came?
The blackberry blossom, oh the last time I saw one
Was down in the bramble where I rambled in the spring
The bramble was wild I was torn by the briars
My love he wooed me as I lie there
With a flower in my hair and my cheeks all flashy
Was the blackberry blossom from the blackberry bush
When I picked the berry I didn't miss the blossom
The blackberry blossom was white as the snow
But the berry that it brings is sweeter than molasses
And black as the wings of the Arkansas crow
The Arkansas crow is a devil and a demon
Known for his cackling and his screaming
Driving away the swallow and the thrush
From the blackberry blossom and the blackberry bus"
