Poison Red Berries Lyrics - Wynn Stewart

POISON RED BERRIES

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
