lyrics

Honey, I gotta go away for a little while
Lord willing, I won't be gone for very long
But if that cherry tree that's blooming in the yard
Should ripen while I'm gone,
Well, keep those cherries ripe till I come back home.

Till I come back home,
Till I come back home.
Honey, keep those cherries ripe till I come back home (2x)

You know those squirrels I ran off last year with my shotgun?
If they should try to steal those cherries while I'm gone,
Well, you know I keep the shotgun sitting by the front door
And the powder by the bed,
So keep these cherries ripe till I come back home.

Till I come back home,
Till I come back home.
Honey, keep those cherries ripe till I come back home (2x)

Honey, when you hear my horn a-blowin',
Get that fire going, get the oven warm.
We'll take all those cherries down to the kitchen--
We'll be eating cherry pie,
So keep those cherries ripe till I come back home.

Till I come back home,
Till I come back home.
Honey, keep those cherries ripe till I come back home (2x)
