lyrics

Well I went to a fair on a mighty fine day
Saw your smiling face looking my way
Hoping and praying I could get you near
Started out pourin’ that blackberry beer
Oh blackberry beer, blackberry beer
I gotta stop drinking that blackberry beer

Well we closed down that fair on a very drunk night
Caressing and undressing in the queasy moonlight
You told me a story that I didn’t wanna hear
Why‘d I start drinking that blackberry beer?
Oh blackberry beer, blackberry beer
I gotta stop drinking that blackberry beer

You went and told me a story that
I didn’t wanna hear and that
Sticky little secret got stuck in my ear
I gotta walk around keeping it year after year
Oh man, you got me paranoid and racked with fear
Over that stupid little story I didn’t want to hear
I‘ve gotta stop drinking that blackberry beer

Oh we lumbered down the lane
‘Til we were out in the clear
I was feeling like I wanted to smack you dear
Was trying hard to snarl but I could barely sneer
Started crying out tears of blackberry beer
Blackberry beer, blackberry beer
I‘ve gotta stop drinking that blackberry beer

Cause you told me a story I didn’t wanna hear
That sticky little secret got stuck in my ear
I gotta walk around keeping it year after year
Oh man, you got me paranoid and racked with fear
Over that stupid little story I didn’t want to hear
I’ve gotta stop drinking that blackberry beer

So I’m awake in your bed on the very next day
wishing your smiling face would just go away
Hoping and a praying I can get outta here
I gotta stop drinking that blackberry beer
Oh blackberry beer, blackberry beer
I‘ve gotta stop drinking that -
Oh blackberry beer, blackberry beer
I‘ve gotta stop drinking that black berry
Blackberry beer, blackberry beer,
I‘ve gotta stop drinking that blackberry beer
