Can you bake a cherry pie, Buddy Boy, Buddy Boy,
Can you bake a cherry pie, bootless Buddy?
Oh, I can bake a cherry pie, so succulent you will sigh;
I’m an old man and yet I miss my mother.
What’s the secret of your crust, Buddy Boy, Buddy Boy,
What’s the secret of your crust, bootless Buddy?
Measure well, bake with lard, avoid Crisco, ’s that so hard?
These are free secrets, but you might need to learn another.
Where’d you find that rolling pin, Buddy Boy, Buddy Boy,
Where’d you buy that rolling pin, bootless Buddy?
For thirteen dollars more it could be at Mishler’s Store,
And this deep pie plate was given me by my brother.
Scoop of ice cream with that pie, Buddy Boy, Buddy Boy,
Vanilla ice cream with that pie, bootless Buddy?
Oh, sure, adulterate this pie, are you trying to make me cry?
I’m an old man and I shall always miss my mother.
