As you drive down a red dirt road br In the autumn of the year br You’ll find along the roadways br Wild plums so fresh and pure br br The tanginess of the fruit br Brings a joy to your very senses br Your fingers pluck them off the tree br As you reach right through the fences br br You can eat them on the very spot br Make preserves or even jam br Just put some in a bowl to serve br Along with your Sunday ham br br So get out and take a drive today br To wherever this fruit abounds br Right down a red dirt road in which br The wild plums are found!br br Marilyn Lottbr br
