Well it's peach-picking time in Georgia
Apple-picking time in Tennessee
Cotton-picking time in Mississippi
Everybody picks on me
Well it's round-up time in Texas
The cowboys make whoopee
And down in old Alabama
It's gal-picking time to me
Well there's bluegrass down in Kentucky
Virginia's where they do the swing
Carolina now I'm coming to see you in the spring
And Arkansas I hear you calling
I know I'll see you soon
That's when we'll do a little picking
Underneath the Ozark moon
Hard times overtake you
I hope they don't get me
Got a little sweetie waiting for me down in Tennessee
I know I'm gonna see her
I hope it won't be long
That's where we'll pick a little cabin
Our mountain home
