about

The chorus in this song is adapted from a traditional French Canadian song. The rest is inspired by my childhood. Some family code words: "The Bread Basket" is where you put the berries you EAT while picking; and "going down the red lane" is code for swallowing berries.

lyrics

Berry Pickin’........ Nicole Edwards

We go berry pickin’ every year, my Ma & me
She says that I’m a good picker, that we’ll wait & see
Some are for the “bread basket” some are for the bowl
And if it starts raining we’ll have to sing that song

Des fraises et des framboises
Du bon vin j’en ai bu
Des frasies et des framboises
Jamais je me suis tant plu

Come time for cleaning my hands & mouth are stained red
and I won’t have had my fill until it’s time for bed
These ones are for freezer and these ones are for jam
These ones are for shortcake, crumble, pie or flan

Des fraises et des framboises
Du bon vin j’en ai bu
Des frasies et des framboises
Jamais je me suis tant plu

Ick c’est bon, c’est delicieux
Goin’ down, goin’ down the red lane

Des fraises et des framboises
Du bon vin j’en ai bu
Des frasies et des framboises
Jamais je me suis tant plu
Des frasies et des framboises
Jamais je me suis tant plu
