There's a time between the seasons
When winter is tired and Spring is a hoped for thing
A cooking fire late February
It's time for the Maple Sugaring
Blueberries under blue sky
Blueberries under blue sky
I've got a bucket full of blueberries on the fourth of July
The buckwheat is in the mill
And the buttermilk is in the barn
The autumn leaves are all on the ground
As the sun rises over town
In the kitchen you can swell the bacon and them pancakes frying
There's a time between the seasons
When winter is tired and Spring is a hoped for thing
A cooking fire late February
It's time for the Maple Sugaring
Making maple syrup yeah yeah
*(Kevin wrote these lyrics)(Amber had the idea of patience)
I've been tapping the trees all day
It's kind of hard to make it pay
Cause it's forty to one until you boil it down
And I keep on slippin on the snow on the ground
But the fires burning low and I'm under the gun
The sap keeps reaching up for the sun
And I got to get the "week old" boiled you know
If I'm gonna keep up with the flow
And I need it yeah yeah
