Peach Picking Time Down In Georgia

When it's peach picking time in Georgia apple picking time in Tennessee
Cotton picking time in Mississippi that everybody picks on me
And when it's roundup time in Texas the cowboys make whoopee
Way down in old Carolina it's gal picking time to me

[ yodel ]
They got the bluegrass in old Kentucky Virginia's where they do the swing
Carolina I'm coming to you to spend the spring
Arkansas I hear you calling and I hope I'll see you soon
There I'm gonna do a little picking underneath the Ozark moon

[ guitar - piano - dobro - guitar ]
Now when hard times overtake me I won't let the blues get me
For I've got a sweetheart in old Caroline and I know she waits for me
Soon I'm a goin' to see her and I know that won't be long
Till we gonna pick a little cabin to call our mountain home

[ guitar ]
When the folks begin to pick the cotton then I pick a weddin' ring
And we'll go to town to pick a little gown for the wedding in the spring
I hope the preacher knows his business cause he can't fool me
When it's peach picking time in Georgia it's gal picking time to me
