Peach Pickin Time In Georgia
Merle Haggard
[Intro] [Verse 1] When it’s peach picking time in Georgia apple picking time in Tennessee Cotton picking time in Mississippi everybody picks on me When it’s roundup time in Texas the cowboys make whoopee And down in old Alabama it’s gal picking time to me Yodel le-ee oh le-ee oh le-ee [Verse 2] There’s a bluegrass down in Kentucky Virginia’s where they do the swing Carolina now I’m coming to you coming to spend the spring Arkansas I hear you calling I know I’ll see you soon There’s where we’ll do a little picking underneath the Ozark moon Yodel le-ee oh le-ee oh le-ee [Instrumental] [Verse 3] Now when hard times overtake you I hope they don’t get mean For I’ve got a sweetie waiting for me down in tennessee I know i’m going to see her and I hope it won’t be long Cause there’s where we’ll pick a litte cabin and call it our mountain home Yodel le-ee oh le-ee oh le-ee [Verse 4] Now after i’ve picked all my cotton i’ll pick a wedding ring We’ll go downtown pick a wedding 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 picking time in Georgia it’s gal picking time to me Yodel le-ee oh le-ee oh le-ee [Outro]
