Blow away, go away Blackberry Winter
Let the sun shine, let the Spring come,
Blow away, go away, back to the mountain
Let my lost lover come home.

In April he came to my valley
We laughed in the sunshine and kissed 'neath the moon
I thought he would ask me to marry
When blackberries ripened in June
But then he cast eyes on another
With lips like the tips of the red Judas tree
A spell settled over the valley
She took my beloved from me.

Blow away, go away Blackberry Winter
Let the sun shine, let the Spring come,
Blow away, go away, back to the mountain
Let my lost lover come home.

Oh, when it grows warm in the valley
Still I will tremble while we are apart
Blackberry snow on the hillside
Is bleak like the ice in my heart
Berries turn black in the Summer
Black as his dark eyes that sparkle and shine
If he comes back to my valley
Let her remember he's mine.

Blow away, go away Blackberry Winter
Let the sun shine, let the Spring come,
Blow away, go away, back to the mountain
Let my lost lover come home.
