| When it’s peach pickin' time in Georgia.
|
| Apple pickin' time in Tennessee.
|
| Cotton pickin' time in Mississippi.
|
| Everybody picks on me.
|
| When it’s round-up time in Texas, the cowboys make 'whoopee'.
|
| Then down in old Alabama, it’s gal pickin' time for me.
|
| There’s the bluegrass down in Kentucky.
|
| Virginia is where they do the swing.
|
| Carolina, now I’m coming to you to spend the spring.
|
| Arkansas, I hear you calling.
|
| I know i’ll see you soon.
|
| There’s where I’ll do a little pickin' underneath the Ozark moon.
|
| Now when hard times overtake you, I hope they don’t get me.
|
| For I got a sweetie waiting for me down in Tennessee.
|
| I know I’m going to see her.
|
| I hope it won’t be long.
|
| There’s where we’ll pick a little cabin, and call it our mountain home.
|
| When the pickaninnys pick the cotton, I’ll pick a wedding ring.
|
| We will go to town, a pick a little gown, for the wedding in the spring.
|
| I hope the preacher knows his business.
|
| I know he can’t fool me.
|
| When it’s peach pickin' time in Georgia, it’s gal pickin' time for me. |
