Blue Ribbon Bake Sale Honey

Lyrics

Church hall folding tables, a cardboard sign
Lemon bars and pound cake in a line
I baked my peach cobbler at the break of day
Never thought it'd take the prize away

The judge was Mr. Henley
With his glasses on his nose

Blue ribbon, honey, pinned on my chest
Little town trophy and I feel the best
It ain't a gold medal, it ain't a crown
It's a ribbon and a smile in a small-town town
Blue ribbon, honey, and I'm dancing on air
Cobbler on the table and the whole church there

He took a bite and he closed his eyes
Said, ma'am, that's a taste of paradise
Mrs. Dalrymple coughed and she raised her brow
Her pecan pie's been champion until now

The judge was Mr. Henley
With his glasses on his nose

Blue ribbon, honey, pinned on my chest
Little town trophy and I feel the best
It ain't a gold medal, it ain't a crown
It's a ribbon and a smile in a small-town town
Blue ribbon, honey, and I'm dancing on air
Cobbler on the table and the whole church there

Kids ate the crumbs and the coffee ran dry
Mrs. Dalrymple gave a smile on the sly
Said, next year, darlin', I'll bring my best
But tonight you've earned a little rest

Oh, the little wins, they're the sweet ones
The ones you share with friends
Peach and sugar and a laugh in the hall
Where the good times never end

Blue ribbon, honey, pinned on my chest
Little town trophy and I feel the best
It ain't a gold medal, it ain't a crown
It's a ribbon and a smile in a small-town town
Blue ribbon, honey, and I'm dancing on air
Cobbler on the table and the whole church there

Blue ribbon, honey, blue ribbon, honey
Peach and sugar, and a smile for free
