Green Pepper
words and music Stephen Barling

Nasty peppers on the vine
If you want one for yours I want one for mine
We crawled up underneath the fence
and where we come from no one knows whence

I don't think I could describe the flavor
Never thought I'd give a damn
But something about those fresh green peppers
kinda reminds me who I am

Couldn't've been but nine years old
sneakin' 'round though we'd been told
Found a garden all prepared
Fresh bell peppers everywhere

I don't think I could describe the flavor
Never thought I'd give a damn
But something about those fresh bell peppers
kinda reminds me who I am

Your brother'd get us into fights
keep us raging half the night
We still thought he was the man
Though I was black and blue and you were black and tan

I don't think I could describe the feeling
Though I surely gave a damn
But something about you, me and Poncho
makes me feel like I'm a man

Oh pepper, oh green pepper....
