The lyrics refer to picking blackberries when the sun comes up, filling his bucket right to the top. One of the berries says, "Don't pick me now, 'cause I ain't ripe dad!" He teturns to the blackberry patch with his girl at night, grabs for a kiss, and she sighs and suggests going back to his house to make a pie.
The sogn was also covered by The Four Lads, Johnnie Lee Wills and His Boys, Sid Phillips and His Band, Rusty Howard and the Bar-X Boys, and Delbert Barker.
