Lyrics
Oh, she was a great big outdoor girl
And I was a little indoor boy
And we met one day down on the farm
I knew she was strong for me
‘Cause she’d take me on her knee
Then she’d whisper these sweet words of charm
Hour after hour we would sit
Hm-hm-hm, I can’t get over it
Chorus
When the berry blossoms bloom
My heart is bumpin’
How it’s bumpin’
I’ll say it’s jumpin’
You are the berries, dear
And my love is such
That I feel berry vine
And love you berry much
When the bees make their bees-kits
And the bull frogs and the pigeons bull and coo
When the berry blossoms bloom
My heart is bumpin’
Then I’ll come jumpin’ back to you
Chorus
When the berry blossoms bloom
My heart is bumpin’
Oh, it’s thumpin’
I’ll say it’s jumpin’
Down my the berry patch
You gave me a push
Then you chased me
And we just beat around the bush
When the hop toads are hoppy
And the frogs are playing croakay in the dew
When the berry blossoms bloom
My heart is bumpin’
Then I’ll come jumpin’ back to you
