CRANBERRY

Sung by Mary Garvey
Recorded on "Songs of the Pacific Northwest"

From the tip of Long Beach up to Willapa Bay
Keep it going for another year
Is the cranberry kingdom they call Ocean Spray
There's no better place than here

When the clouds go away and the sun starts to shine
Keep it going for another year
It will shine right down on the cranberry vine
There's no better place than here

Rake 'em, shake 'em, take 'em to the plant
Keep it going for another year
Should have bailed long ago but you know I just can't
There's no better place than here

For five generations we've popped them in a can
Keep it going for another year
You have not seen the last of this cranberry clan
There's no better place than here

So I'll try to make a living out of sand and fog
Keep it going for another year
There's no better place than a cranberry bog
No better place than here

Raise a glass, give a little toast
Keep it going for another year
Here's to all the farmers of the cranberry coast
There's no better place than here
