It's the same old question again.
They ain't never gonna turn us loose.
You got dirt all over your face
what we tell them every time before
They wanna leave us alone
They want us to come home
And pickin' wild mountains
That's our excuse every time
We've been busy making men
And picking wild mountain
I don't know, oh I don't know
If I can keep honey from bledding it's sure
If my hair is drippin' wet
And my clothes are soakin' wet
-dippin' in a seaman pond
We'll explain it, honey, best as we can
They won't leave us alone
They want us to come home
We've been bridgin' Baconberry
and pickin' Wild Mountain Bread
Pickin' Wild Mountain Bread
It's our excuse every time
We've been bridgin' Baconberry
and pickin' Wild Mountain Bread
they won't leave us alone
No, no, no, they won't ask
We've been bridgin' Baconberry
And pick your wild mountain berries
There's no excuse for the trouble
We've been busy making merry
And pick your wild mountain berries
We've been busy making merry
And pick your wild mountain berries
We've been busy making merry
And pick your wild mountain berries
