I DON'T THINK ABOUT HER NO MORE (THE POISON RED BERRIES)
(Mickey Newbury)

Mickey Newbury - 1969

Don Williams - 1973



 
I don't think much 'bout her no more
Seldom if ever does she cross my mind
Yesterday's gone, it's better forgotten
Like the poison red berries to die on the vine

This mornin' at dawn, Lord, I pulled into town
Had some coffee and talked with some old friends of mine
Laughin' at the good times they remember
Then I remembered the time

Lord, I can still see bright lights back in Dallas
As yesterday moves like a dream through my mind
I didn't suppose that I'd ever forget her
And you know it took such a long time

But I don't think much 'bout her no more
Seldom if ever does she cross my mind
Yesterday's gone, Lord, it's better forgotten
Like the poison red berries that cling to the mind
