Where The Buckwheat Blooms
By Lisa Biales ©2005 BMI

She came to town when the buckwheat bloomed
Golden sunset fields of sweet perfume
On an old fruit wagon that worked the harvest moon
Where the buckwheat blooms


Two old grey horses worked the fields that year
Her shepherd Rex played with a blinded mare
A simple life was heaven beyond compare
Where the buckwheat blooms


Her daddy never kept a job very long
Guess he went drinkin? all the time
Her mama worked a soda fountain grill
It was all she could do to make a dime


One balmy evening at the end of June
A bill collector hummed his haughty tune
Too bad she had to leave that place so soon
Where the buckwheat blooms
