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 cherry pie
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 price 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
