Sweet Tea

I drink my sweet tea from an old fruit jar
Filled with Ice it’s the best by far

Mom taught me how to make it as a young beginner
Never let the water boil just bring it to a simmer

Throw the bags inside and put on the lid
That’s how my mama showed me when I was a kid

She measured out cane sugar and tossed it in the pot
She looked down at me and said you do this while it’s hot

There’s one thing I know about moms sweet tea for sure
You couldn’t get it any better from the neighborhood store

Sweet tea in a fruit Jar on this sultry afternoon
Is Just the way my mama made it in our childhood days in June
