Olio d'Oro

V5.5

[Verse 1] Down by Riverbend Springs Before the sun gets high We haul those green tin bins And the picker trucks roll by Hands stained gold by noon From the grove to the press Old Mr. Lane just smiles Says, “boys, we do our best” [Pre-Chorus] Taste that pepper snap Smell that fresh-cut rain Every drop came clean From the hill and the lane [Chorus] Olio d'Oro, pour it slow Canada oil, let it glow From Riverbend Springs To the supper table Olio d'Oro, one more pour Makes the plain old bread want more Canada oil That golden label [Verse 2] We watch the steel drums turn And the soft green stream Run thick as a Sunday hymn In a Mason jar dream Mama sets the loaf out warm Kiss of salt, crack of crust One taste and the whole room says “That’s the good stuff, trust” [Pre-Chorus] Taste that pepper snap Smell that fresh-cut rain Every drop came clean From the hill and the lane [Chorus] Olio d'Oro, pour it slow Canada oil, let it glow From Riverbend Springs To the supper table Olio d'Oro, one more pour Makes the plain old bread want more Canada oil That golden label [Bridge] When the frost comes down And the fields turn white We keep that warm green shine In the jar all night A little taste of home In every careful hand From Riverbend Springs To the ones who understand [Final Chorus] Olio d'Oro, pour it slow Canada oil, let it glow From Riverbend Springs To the supper table Olio d'Oro, one more pour Makes the plain old bread want more Canada oil That golden label
