Cherry Pie

03 Cherry Pie

4 cups of cherries or more maybe 5 just to be sure

1 cup of sugar or more if the berries are sour

Let your belly say when when you put in

A good pinch cinnamon

Groovin' twistin' your leg when you add the yoke of an egg

Crumble some butter with four small cups of flour

And in the wink of an hour if you're lucky you'll try

My great granny's cherrypie

Well listen once back in 1865

My great granny served her very first cherry pie

And it's been doin' wonders

Ever since she spread

Her lovin' crumbles

She mended broken hearts

And won every prize in the local country markets

She was the sweetest thing

Invited everybody in to share

Tender love and care

And some pie here and there

Well listen once back in 1869

My great grandad walked in and caught her eye

And he's been doing tumblers

Ever since he tasted her lovin' crumbles

She once said to me one day

You're gonna thank me for this recipe

You gotta follow it to the T

It takes more than just a twinkle in your eye

So when you find your guy

Invite him in for some pie
