I never would've guessed it in a hundred years or more
I'd meet a lowland angel, the likes I'd never seen before
She grew up where the sun does run hot across the sky
Sweetened her up nice like some strawberry wine
I crowned her in my mind, oh my Strawberry Queen

I ain't cut out for royalty, never saw myself a king
No blue blood in these veins, just a mountain boy with dreams
But I got caught up in her love like a storm down in the Gulf
The high winds wreck my docks, the water rusts my locks
My wave breaks on the rocks for my Strawberry Queen

I ain't the first to pledge my service to the crown
I know her subjects in the past have let her down
Treasonous fools never come around this town
Or I'd throw my fist and give 'em hell and stand my ground
For my Strawberry Queen
For my Strawberry Queen

I met her at a dance hall early one spring
Felt like Adam next to Eve staring at a fruit of God
So I wrapped a bow around my heart
And placed it in a box of cherry wood
I asked her if she could take that box and do it good
She smiled and said she would
Oh my Strawberry Queen

I ain't the first to pledge my service to the crown
I know her subjects in the past have let her down
Treasonous fools never come around this town
Or I'd throw my fist and give 'em hell and stand my ground
For my Strawberry Queen
For my Strawberry Queen
