STRAWBERRY JAM
by: Michelle Shocked
from album "Arkansas Traveler" (1992)
[Verse 1]
DSaturday morning Efound me itchin'
ATo get on over to my Dgramdma's kitchen
The sweetest little berries were Ecookin' up right
And then we'd Aput 'em in a canning jar and Dseal it up tight
[Chorus]
We were makin' EjamA  
Strawberry EjamA  
If you want the best EjamA  
You've got to make your DownA  D  
[Verse 2]
Now we've got Smucker's, Welch's, and EKnot's Berry Farm
But a little Ahomemade jam never did a Dbody no harm
A little local motion is Eall you really need
To Aclose down those corporate Djam factories
[Chorus]
We were makin' EjamA  
Strawberry EjamA  
If you want the best EjamA  
You've got to make your DownA  D  
[Verse 3]
We've got a little revolution, and it's Esweepin' the land
Now once more Aeverybody's makin' Dhomemade jam
Now you just call up your friends on the Etelephone
You invite 'em on Aover to your house and make some Djam of your own
[Chorus]
You'll be makin' EjamA  
Strawberry EjamA  
If you want the best EjamA  
You've got to make your DownA  D
