The Cider Song

from Wildflowers by Jonathan Byrd

/

lyrics

Up on this mountain, you can see for miles. You can see the silo on the hill. There's Little House and Big House and the valley down below. I got myself a press and a cider mill.

I'll never sell my cider nor keep it for my own. C'mon everybody. Taste these apples that I've grown.

I've got a wife and a little baby boy, a couple of jobs back in town. It's getting cold. It's that time of the year and I got apples laying on the ground.

Every year when the goldenrod's in bloom, I know harvest time is coming soon. My daddy taught me to harvest by the signs and always keep one eye on the moon.

Next thing that I make has got to be a still. i could make my own brandywine. I never have to worry about the revenue. I could go out on the highway with a sign.
