WYNN STEWART - POISON RED BERRIES lyrics

POISON RED BERRIES

Writer Mickey Newbury

Copyright 1969

You know I don't think much about her anymore

Seldom if ever does she cross my mind

Yesterday's gone Lord it's better forgotten

Like the poison red berries to die on the vine

This mornin' at dawn I pulled into town

Had some coffee and talked with some old friends of mine

Laughing at all the good times they remember

And then I remembered the time

I can still see those bright lights back in Dallas

As yesterday moves like a dream through my mind

I really didn't suppose that I'd never forget her

And you know it took such a long time

But I don't think much about her no more

Seldom if ever does she cross my mind

Yesterday's gone it's better forgotten

It's like a poison red berry that clings to the mind
